81. 0, so that Eq. (2) together with ansatz (3) is inconvenient. However, if of is allowed to contain unsuppressed terms, SME dispersion relations can be generated.

89. Odd powers of |λ→| could arise from equations of motion containing nonlocal operators of the type √- Δ, where Δ is the Laplacian. However, such nonlocalities are presently unniotivated in candidate fundamental theories, so that we exclude such operators in the present work.

101. A mass term would yield a Lorentz-invariant (but gauge-symmetry violating) contribution, which is not of interest in the present context.
102. The allowed phase space for the decay products in the case of a lightlike pion four-momentum is a set of measure zero leading at best to a suppressed rate for the reaction.
