34. ̌ is, in this respect, a better "elementary" operator. Furthermore, we will see that the expectation values of the other elementary operators evaluated with this choice will be consistent.

45. Notice that the condition |ψ|≪1 demands that the density φ stays close to its equilibrium value φ*, and thus T is essentially density independent and equal to T( φ*).
46. ̌ operator. The combinatorial factor of the undirected diagram is the same for all families (thus the order in 1/z is well defined for the diagram) but the number of ways to associate times to links may differ.

54. z was restricted to smaller values in the latter case because simulations on the Cayley tree require a slightly more complex computer program to manage the locations of the particles.

60. Interestingly, the instantonic field ψ was implicitly present in the annealed calculation of Refs. [56,57]; see R. Monasson, Complex Networks (Springer-Verlag, Berlin, 2003), for a discussion of this point.
