16. 2) the weak coupling calculation using the band structure data still gives a non-vanishing result ∼10% of the main term, which is large enough to remove the desired tetra-critical point. Note that in the spin degenerate scenario this dangerous term identically vanishes.

27. Norman has already investigated the relative stability of various pairing states within the same framework and fails to stabilize the following desired state. We differ from it in that we use the newly found ferromagnetic fluctuation mode and we do not assume the strong SO coupling, thus the resulting pairing state is quite different. See M. R. Norman: Phys. Rev. B 37 (1988) 4987; ibid. 41 (1990) 170.
