33. Note: the values obtained for the spin-stiffness by the DMRG and QMC methods do not exactly agree, because the assumption of quadratic behavior of the ground-state energy with Φ does not hold exactly for a finite system. It does hold in the bulk limit, however, and the results of the two methods converge in that limit.
