34. For simplicity, we neglect the weak trapping potential and assume that the system is perfectly periodic.

36. Even if the SF phase has no total spin as a whole system (in spite of a finite spin at a site), the magnetization will be finite under the magnetic field as long as the SF phase has no spin excitation gap.
