20. g electron per site which naively may suggest insulating behavior, there are two active orbitals and the mean density per state is 1/2.
21. In practice, considering sites i and i + a, the oxygen in between is allowed to move along the a axis; i.e., buckling and rotations are neglected. In the 2D case apical oxygens are assumed to be fixed [12].

23. Since JT distortions suppress double occupancy, as onsite Coulomb interaction does, a robust λ mimics the effect of interorbital Coulomb repulsion. In addition, a large Hund coupling emulates a large same-orbital Hubbard U term [2] (see Ref. [14]).

25. A similar mechanism has been discussed by some of the authors for the CE-type phase at x = 0.5 [8].
26. The metal-insulator transition driven by JT phonons occurs at a finite value of λ in the infinite lattice [T. Hotta, Phys. Rev. B 67, 104428 (2003)].
27. C for simplicity [2].
28. Both spin directions and oxygen positions are optimized.
29. AF manganites at x = 0.
30. Stripes in manganites establish an interesting analogy with similar physics in cuprates and nickelates [J. M. Tranquada et al., Nature (London) 375, 561 (1995)].
31. Further work is needed to check the stability of the structure against long-range Coulomb interactions.
