We have investigated transport in a cross-shaped two-dimensional elect
ron gas with superconducting electrodes coupled to two opposite arms.
Multiterminal resistances, measured as a function of the superconducti
ng phase difference and the magnetic flux, are analyzed in terms of an
extended Landauer-Buttiker transport formalism. We show that extended
reciprocity relations hold. Correlations between transport coefficien
ts are obtained from, e.g., (negative) three-terminal and nonlocal res
istances. Energy spectroscopy reveals a reentrant behavior of the tran
sport coefficients around the Thouless energy.
