44. A Morse functions is characterized by the fact that its Hessian matrix is regular at all critical points.
45. The arbitrariness in the choice of the renormalization point is irrelevant, since a change in this choice leads only to a reparametrization of the same theory.

47. For the definition of non-coregular linear group G, see the explanation below Eq. (1).
48. These are only sufficient conditions. Explicit necessary and suficient conditions can easily be determined, but they would be too cumbersome to write down and would add nothing to our analysis.
