32. We have neglected the Zeeman interaction due to the applied magnetic flux since in experimentally available mesoscopic interferometers the applied fields are usually quite small (on the order of millitesla) (Refs.).

45. We emphasize, however, that B eff depends on B ext, see the denominators in Eq. As a consequence, the condition B c = - B eff must be solved self-consistently. Nevertheless, for the problem we consider here we have checked that including self-consistency merely introduces unimportant corrections to the value predicted by Eq.
