16. In order to check the influence of the value of U on the band structure, we have kept fixed the geometry optimized at 6 GPa and repeated the electronic structure calculation for a value of U different from the one used throughout the article (i.e., U =4.5 eV). In particular, we have considered the change of the band gap: taking U=4.0 eV the band gap changes from 0.30 to 0.27 eV.

23. 3 (Ref. 20) all magnetic ordered structures were found to be insulating (as the experimental AF-A and PM phases) with comparable band gaps, whereas the non-magnetic structure was found to be metallic. It is thus more appropriate to use either an ordered magnetic state (e.g., AF-A) which at least satisfies Hund's rule (Ref. 21), or an average of several different spin-ordered states, as has been done in Ref. 22 (no atomic relaxation).
24. 3 as function of pressure is presently beyond the reach of LDA+DMFT calculations.
