20. 2) the weak coupling calculation using the band structure data still gives a nonvanishing result of ∼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.
21. Norman has already investigated the relative stability of various pairing states within the same framework and failed to stabilize the following desired state. 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.

33. Except for the clastic measurement under H by G. Bruls et al.: Physica B 186-188 (1993) 258 and preprint. This implies that the field may help to stabilize the static AF by some unknown reason.
34. 2 with a similar tiny spontaneous moment ∼0.02 μB/U should be noted; yet various measurements clearly detect the AF.
