Abstract
We study the interference of interacting electrons in toroidal single-wall carbon nanotubes coupled to metallic electrodes by tunnel junctions. The dc conductance shows resonant features as a function of the gate voltage and the magnetic field. The conductance pattern is determined by the interaction parameter, which in turn can be cross-checked against the exponents governing the transport at high temperatures. The coordinate dependence of the conductance reflects electron correlations in one-dimensional space.
