18. By considering a system uniform along the z -axis with a vertical length Z, the effective two-dimensional (2D) coupling constant is given by g2D = g3D/Z, where g3D is the 3D coupling constant. If instead the motion along z is squeezed into the lowest oscillator state, one has g2D = g3D/az 2π, where az is the axial oscillator length.

20. Such description proves to be extremely useful whenever V · v=×v=0. Indeed, this implies the condition ∂ z v=0, i.e., v turns out to be an analytic function of z*. For example, for the particularly simple case of a single vortex, one has v=i/z*.
21. One has ζ(z+2j ω1 +2k ω2) =ζ(z)+2jζ (ω1) +2kζ (ω2) and ζ (ω1) ω2 -ζ (ω2) ω1 =iπ/2.

25. For g=0 one has μ=1, corresponding to the zero point energy of the two-dimensional harmonic trapping.
26. The parabolic shape of the coarse grained density profile has been recently proven in the LLL regime starting from the exact solution of the GP equation.

29. In Ref. rv is instead defined as the mean square root radius of nmax -n on a single cell. However, such definition is not suitable for the TF regime, where it fails in reproducing the proportionality between rv and ξ.
