41. Incidentally, our theory in D dimensions has a two-dimensional appearance, due to dimensional transmutation. This is in sharp contrast with the behavior of the solutions of the wave equation and of the free-particle Schrödinger equation. See also Eq. (10).

43. The present solution of the inverse square potential (with 1 = 0) applies to the radial part of the wave function under a dipole potential; the angular part can be dealt with by using the method of Ref. [10].
