34. Note that one may use the symmetry properties Dmm′=Dm′m and Dmm=0 only after the differentiation of the energy (10), which is generally speaking expressed through the four-point correlation functions. One should use the standard differentiation rule, ∂Dkk′/∂Dmm′≡δmkδm′k′. The structure of the kinetic equations is such that the symmetry properties are automatically satisfied on the solution of these equations at each moment in time.

37. Apparently, for a finite length chain, the collapse transition is characterized by a finite width, and therefore its representation in Figs. 112233 is sufficiently schematic with a suitable criterion 17 adopted to draw a definite curve for it.
38. Curve S in Figs. 112233 is defined by the condition Ψ=1/2, i.e., half of the maximal possible value of the MPS parameter.
