The influence of Thomas-Rashba precession on the physics of Kondo cotunneling through
quantum dots is analyzed. It is shown that this precession is relevant only at finite magnetic
fields. Thomas-Rashba precession results in peculiar anisotropy of the effective g factor and
initiates dephasing of the Kondo cotunneling amplitude at low temperature, which is strongly
dependent on the magnetic field.
