  "abstract": "The spin-Hall conductivity in spatially-homogeneous two-dimensional electron systems described by the spin-orbit Hamiltonian \\hbar \\Omega_p \\sigma is presented as a sum of the universal part Me/8 \\pi \\hbar determined by the Berry phase \\Phi=M \\pi (M is an odd integer, the winding number of the vector \\Omega_p) and a non-universal part which vanishes under certain conditions determined by the analytical properties of \\Omega_p. The analysis reveals a rich and complicated behavior of the spin-Hall conductivity which is relevant to both electron and hole states in quantum wells and can be detected in experiments.",
