15. 0: this would not change significantly the final results but would change intermediate arguments and make them longer, so for clarity we discuss in detail only the half-integer case here. Note, however, that the main quantitative effect of this alternative choice of the flux is beneficial: it would push up the phasetransition line separating the topological and superconducting phases shown in Fig. 3 for the half-integer case.

22. We assume that transition to insulating phase is direct; another alternative is the intermediate phase in which the energy of the vortex becomes finite instead of being logarithmic. If this phase indeed exists it is likely to have properties more similar to the one discussed in Ref. 7.
