We examine contributions to the dc-current of mesoscopic samples which are
non-linear in applied voltage. In the presence of a magnetic field, the current
can be decomposed into components which are odd (antisymmetric) and even
(symmetric) under flux reversal. For a two-terminal chaotic cavity, these
components turn out to be very sensitive to the strength of the Coulomb
interaction and the asymmetry of the contact conductances. For both two- and
multi-terminal quantum dots we discuss correlations of current non-linearity in
voltage measured at different magnetic fields and temperatures.Comment: 9 pages, 4 figure
