Abstract

We correct an error in [3, Lemma 8.2]. As stated, the lemma only holds for surfaces of genus greater than or in the case . When the genus is or and in addition , equation (2) in [3] (in the present corrigendum this is equation (2)) is only a necessary condition for the integrability of but is not sufficient. In [3] Lemma 8.2 is only used twice. On page 637 it is used in the trivial case . On page 642 only the “only if” direction is used and the proof of that direction is correct in [3]. In this note we prove a corrected version of [3, Lemma 8.2].
