20. Equation (5) is valid in the diffusion approximation (ωτ≪1) when the typical number of scattering events along the closed path is large. In the ballistic case (ωτ≳1) the change of the effective cross section can also be expressed via return probability (Ref. 14). However, one should take into account the dependence of the return probability on Φ.

23. More precisely, a slow relaxation of this component takes place due to the turms cubic in p, neglected in the Hamiltonian (2).

26. In the conventional terminology of the weak localization, this means that in the degenerate case the triplet channel makes the same contribution as the singlet one (Ref. 19), while in the nondegenerate case the nonzero contribution comes from the singlet channel only.

28. Note that the account of diagrams (1c) is also necessary for calculation of weak localization correction to the density-density correlation function (see Ref. 9).
