If the system respects time-reversal symmetry, does the T-even anti-symmetric conductivity tensor indicate a dissipationless transport?

In this paper, the authors discuss the three response relations or Ohm's law for spin/charge transport. The first one is the spin Hall effect described by: $$J_j^i=\sigma_{s}\epsilon_{ijk}E_k \tag{1},$...
