37. It is straightforward to allow for orbital or Zeeman fields or for more general interactions. We also consider identical tunnel couplings between the dot and both electrodes. Asymmetries produce similar effects as the orbital mixing t in H t.

42. Different phases can be labeled by S 2 + T 2, and we use the notation (S, T) = 0 for S = T = 0, (S, T) = 1 / 2 for S = T = 1 / 2, and (S, T) = 1 for both (S, T) = (1, 0) and (0,1).
43. Strictly speaking, precisely at Δ = ∞ there are degeneracies that make the classification ambiguous. However, at finite Δ, Fig. indicates that the reported phases are stable. We have also confirmed their stability for θ ≠ 0.
