We describe in detail the procedure for obtaining the correct one-dimensional Hamiltonian of electrons moving on a ring in the presence of Rashba spin-orbit interaction. The subtlety of this seemingly trivial problem has not been fully appreciated so far and it has led to some ambiguities in the existing literature. Our work illustrates the origin of these ambiguities and solves them.
