20. The apparent violation of the Wiedemann-Franz law in the doped Fermi-liquid phase reported in this paper is eliminated in a self-consistent mean-field calculation that allows the internal gauge field to relax. The violation remains at half-filling, however, as the spin liquid conducts heat but no charge.

22. Recent work by J. Fenton and A. J. Schofield Phys. Rev. Lett. PRLTAO 0031-9007 10.1103/PhysRevLett.95.247201 95, 247201 (2005) has shown that the magnetic field region where such a weak-field response might be observed collapses to zero at the spin-density-wave (SDW) transition. At finite magnetic fields the Hall number will jump at a SDW transition but with a magnitude proportional to the applied field-i.e., very different from the magnitude of the discontinuity in Hall number we have shown here which is independent of magnetic field.
