19. It is easy to see, that S is nothing but the value of the f-sum rule and can be calculated using the unrenormalized band structure of the material.

22. The calculations in [4] have been performed for a moderate local Coulomb repulsion of U/W = 1.5. The corresponding Kondo temperature is T* ≈ 0.05W. which would translate to T* = 580 K assuming a bandwidth W = 1 eV.

25. It is well known, that the theoretical plasma frequency must be calculated via equation (3), where the band-mass and not the free electron mass enters due to the restiction in the Hilbert space.
