It is not necessary for this equation, or the other constraints on (Formula presented)-violating couplings, to be satisfied exactly: the dangerous dimension-four operators will not come into equilibrium if their coupling constants are less than (Formula presented) However, we take them to vanish exactly in order to simplify the discussion.
