45. Strictly speaking, this is guaranteed at this stage only for sufficiently small ε > 0 because the ε dependent terms of the exponent 1 + O(ε) appearing in (Formula presented) can then be trusted to be positive. However, from the well-studied m = 0 case we know that this exponent is proportional to the difference (Formula presented) of the surface critical exponents (Formula presented) of the ordinary and special CP transitions, respectively. This difference is positive and expected to be so even in the m > 0 case.

60. 2 of their external points off the surface. Amputated legs whose external points are located on the surface, such as oz − − − − − − | − ⊗, are exponentials in z and hence good test functions of z. With regard to the coordinates r parallel to the surface situation is even simpler and completely analogous to the bulk case. Owing to the translational invariance we have parallel to the surface, the required integrals over r variables can be written as convolutions. Such convolutions of well-defined generalized functions of r variables (i.e., of the amputated graph with the two amputated legs) are well-defined, becoming simple products in p space.
