16. c, there is a change in the Fermi velocity at an energy ∼80 meV; this feature appears to be well explained by a coupling to a collective spin resonance mode (Ar. Abanov and A. V. Chubukov, Phys. Rev. Lett. 83, 1652 (2000); M. Eschrig and M. R. Norman, cond- mat/0005390) and will not be directly relevant to the theory presented here.
