  We study theoretically the combined effect of the spin-orbit and Zeeman
interactions on the tunneling electron transport through a single-channel
quantum ring threaded by magnetic flux. We focus on the high temperature case
(temperature is much higher than the level spacing in the ring) and demonstrate
that spin-interference effects are not suppressed by thermal averaging. In the
absence of the Zeeman coupling the high-temperature tunneling conductance of
the ring exhibits two types of oscillations: Aharonov-Bohm oscillations with
magnetic flux and Aharonov-Casher oscillations with the strength of the
spin-orbit interaction. For weak tunneling coupling both oscillations have the
form of sharp periodic antiresonances. In the vicinity of the antiresonances
the tunneling electrons acquire spin polarization, so that the ring serves as a
spin polarizer. We also demonstrate that the Zeeman coupling leads to
appearance of two additional peaks both in the tunneling conductance and in the
spin polarization.
