18. This approach applies in dilute magnetic hole wires (Ref.) where the bulk-hole g factor is enhanced by a p-d exchange mechanism (Ref.).

24. The cubic-symmetry term that accounts for band-warping effects depends on the wire's direction with respect to crystallographic axes (Ref.). For a wire oriented parallel to the [001] direction, it reads g orb,cub (α) =- (γ2 - γ3) [12 (J z2 - 5 4 14×4) L z α -5 i x + k + J +2 -i x - k - J -2 α - i x + k + J -2 -i x - k - J +2 α] 20.
25. In this work, we neglect inversion-asymmetry-induced spin-orbit coupling, which could shift quasi-1D subband edges to finite kz.
26. Taking the limit Bz →0 circumvents ambiguities in the definition of g factors associated with the, in general, nonlinear magnetic-field dependence of spin splitting. For wires with cylindrical or square cross section, our obtained values for subband-edge g factors are then universal, i.e., independent of wire width.
27. We did not address a possible exchange enhancement of spin splitting, which is known to exist in electron systems [K. J. Thomas, J. T. Nicholls, M. Y. Simmons, M. Pepper, D. R. Mace, and D. A. Ritchie, Phys. Rev. Lett. PRLTAO 0031-9007 10.1103/PhysRevLett.77.135 77, 135 (1996)]
28. In hole systems, exchange enhancement appears to be conditional on a finite spin-3/2 dipole moment [R. Winkler, E. Tutuc, S. J. Papadakis, S. Melinte, M. Shayegan, D. Wasserman, and S. A. Lyon, Phys. Rev. B PRBMDO 0163-1829 10.1103/PhysRevB.72.195321 72, 195321 (2005)]
29. Further investigations of this effect in quasi-1D hole systems are needed; see also M. Rosenau da Costa, I. A. Shelykh, and N. T. Bagraev, Phys. Rev. B PRBMDO 0163-1829 10.1103/PhysRevB.76.201302 76, 201302 (R) (2007).
