25. There are superficial similarities with the work of P. Coleman, C. Pépin, Q. Si, and R. Ramzashvili, J. Phys. Condens. Matter 13, R723 (2001). The crucial difference is that the anomalous contribution is proportional to the square of the order parameter. The derivative of the Hall constant is therefore not singular at the quantum critical point, as in our case.
