25. In the effective Gaussian Hamiltonian (10) we do not write the constant term as in Ref. 4; also we do not have a term corresponding to the external magnetic field as in Ref. 9. This term appears if the grand canonical ensemble is considered, while in the present study we use the canonical ensemble.

46. c in our TDSMC simulations in paper I was not large enough to obtain reliable estimates for the other critical exponents (e.g., for the critical exponents to the temperature dependence of the heat capacity and compressibility). Thus we are not able use other scaling relations to estimate v.
