13. In the case of α = β the Hamiltonian H in the new spin basis and the unitary transformation U k become exactly the same as H [Re D] and U of Ref., respectively.
14. / 2. However, in such an expression the subband index s = ± distinguishes the inner and outer branch and, e.g., in the case of α = β does not correspond to spin components.

30. We have chosen the direction φ k = π / 4, in which we can reproduce the momentum dependence of the inelastic decay rate peculiar for a 2DEG without the SOI. For each spin component, such a dependence becomes isotropic if one shifts the origin in the momentum plane on the vector s Q / 2.
