Erratum: Fibers of word maps and the multiplicities of non-abelian composition factors

Abstract

We discuss two corrections concerning the paper mentioned in the title. One of them pertains to a slight error in a statement from a different paper that was used. For this statement, it is explained how to fix it and why this does not affect the correctness of our results. The other is concerned with an error in the original GAP source code used to verify some of our results. This error, which was subsequently fixed, did affect the correctness of one of our main theorems, which is now given in corrected (and stronger) form.
