18. This definition is different from the conventional one since it involves the Fermi points rather than the directions of motion of scattered electrons.

20. The transformed matrix elements (Formula presented) are invariant under (Formula presented) rotations in chiral angle (Formula presented), which correspond to equivalent representations of a nanotube.
21. Equation (8) has the same form as the phase Hamiltonian for a two-leg Hubbard-type ladder [H. Lin, et al., Phys. Rev. B 58, 1794 (1998)], provided that the difference in definitions of the fields (Formula presented) and (Formula presented) in terms of densities of right and left movers in two energy bands is taken into account.
22. We have checked this explicitly for (10,10) SWNT’s at half-filling and away from it.
