10. In the case of a (Formula presented) edge, the softening of edge modes at the finite wave vector that leads to edge reconstruction has been observed in time-dependent Hartree-Fock studies: A. Karlhede, K. Lejnell, and S. L. Sondhi, Phys. Rev. B10.1103/PhysRevB.60.15948 60, 15?948 (1999);

12. Physically such interaction terms can come from, e.g., the nonlinearity of the confining potential at the edge, in a way similar to the nonlinearity of fermion dispersion leading to interaction terms in the bosonized Hamiltonian of ordinary Luttinger liquid;
13. see, e.g., F.D.M. Haldane, J. Phys. C10.1088/0022-3719/14/19/010 14, 2585 (1981). While irrelevant in the long-wavelength limit for edges without reconstruction, we must keep them here to maintain the stability of the theory when there is edge reconstruction.
