10. The self-conjugate representation of SU(4) differs from the fundamental representation considered recently by Y. Yamashita, N. Shibata, and K. Ueda, Phys. Rev. B 58, 9114 (1998). There is one electron in the fundamental representation, which therefore has dimension 4 and corresponds to quarter filling. At half-filling there are the two electrons, and the representation is self-conjugate.
11. A more precise calculation of the exchange constant (Formula presented) is presented in G. Burkard, D. Loss, and D. P. DiVincenzo, Phys. Rev. B 59, 2070 (1999).
12. Spin-orbit splitting of the (Formula presented) states is (Formula presented) to (Formula presented) times smaller than (Formula presented) because the splitting is of order (Formula presented) where (Formula presented) is the fine-structure constant and (Formula presented) is the number of electrons in the dot [G. Baym, Lectures on Quantum Mechanics (Ref. 1), pp. 460–465].
