26. The quantization of charge in the problem under consideration was first pointed out in [12]. However, ignoring one of the terms in their Hamiltonian (1) breaks the spin SU(2) symmetry.

33. It must be noted that the random mass Dirac problem turns out to be closely related to the random exchange spin model, studied via a real-space renormalization group by C. Dasgupta and S.K. Ma, Phys. Rev. B 22 (1980) 1305 and by D. Fisher, Phys. Rev. B 50 (1994) 3799; Phys. Rev. 51 (1995) 6411.
