30. Exponential tails in the DOS prohibit the formation of a genuine disorder and/or correlation induced gap in the spectrum. However, a "soft gap," where the spectrum vanishes at a single point, is permitted.

33. Equation (4) can be derived within Hartree-Fock theory. We find it to be valid even at strong interactions.
34. The same holds true when n = 1 = x, i.e., when the upper alloy subband is half filled.
