30. Using the method of invariants, the representation of the Zeeman Hamiltonian in the spinor basis states of the irreducible representation, Γ4, is a 2×2 matrix, which is expressed as a linear combination of the Pauli spin matrices with equal coefficients in front of σx and σy since σx and σy transform according to the same irreducible representation Γ3 and a different coefficient in front of σz since σz transforms according to another irreducible representation Γ2 of C3v.
31. If the hole state belong to either one or other one-dimensional representation of C3v, Γ5, or Γ6, a magnetic field applied in the (x,y) plane does not lift the degeneracy of the Kramers degenerate hole states (gxh = gyh =0). A magnetic field applied along the z axis lifts this degeneracy and introduces a linear dependence with Bz (gzh ≠0) in the Zeeman Hamiltonian.

42. The spinor basis for the degenerate hole states belonging to Γ5 and Γ6 has the explicit form given by { 1 2 (| 3 2, 3 2 □ - | 3 2, - 3 2 □), 1 2 (| 3 2, 3 2 □ + | 3 2, - 3 2 □) }.
43. If the hole state belong to either one or other one-dimensional representation of C3v, Γ5, or Γ6, the neutral exciton states belong to Γ3 (since Γ4 □ Γ5 = Γ3 and Γ4 □ Γ6 = Γ3) and, thus, are split into two doubly degenerate states, which means that δ= δ□ =0 in the expression of the exchange Hamiltonian.

48. This picture is expected to be valid in a perturbative limit and cannot be employed to evaluate the g factors in heterostructures from the effective g factors of the bulk materials.

54. In the general case, one can easily show that the linear polarization axes (x and y) are rotated by an angle θ for an arbitrary rotation of the magnetic field around the z axis by minus θ starting from the x axis.
