23. We follow the usual approach of Refs., in which (E) is an independent parameter with E the Fermi level. In a more refined approach the Fermi level of the ring depends on whether the number of the particles is even or odd [see C. H. Wu and G. Mahler, Phys. Rev. B PRBMDO 0163-1829 10.1103/PhysRevB.43.5012 43, 5012 (1991)].
