18. One might worry that higher-loop graphs destroy or significantly modify the VM fixed structure that plays a crucial role in our theory. At the moment, no higher-loop calculations are available: there are simply too many graphs to calculate and too many undetermined parameters to handle at already two-loop order. However, it is not difficult to convince oneself that our conclusion will not be affected by higher-order graphs. There are several ways to see this. The simplest is the following. Although higher-loop calculations are not available, it has been proven by M. Harada, T. Kugo, and K. Yamawaki in Phys. Rev. Lett. PRLTAO 0031-9007 10.1103/PhysRevLett.71.1299 71, 1299 (1993) that the tree-order low-energy theorems remain rigorously valid to all orders. In particular, the dimension-2 operators in the effective action remain the same to all orders. This means that the crucial relation in HLS, i.e., mρ2=afπ2g2, holds to all orders. The mass, therefore, goes to zero as g goes to zero. Now, the matching condition at the matching scale Λ says that g=0 when q̄q =0, and since g=0 is a fixed point of the RGE for g at any order (higher loops bring in higher powers in g in the β function), it will flow to zero at the point where the condensate vanishes. One can also see that a=1+O(g2n) near q̄q =0, where n is the number of loops; so near Tc, the correction to 1 is small, and at Tc,a=1. Therefore, we have the VM fixed point intact. We acknowledge helpful comments on this matter from M. Harada, C. Sasaki, and K. Yamawaki.
19. The term "asymptotic freedom" as used here could be a misnomer in that the theory we are using is an effective theory defined up to the cutoff at the matching scale, whereas QCD which is asymptotically free is a renormalizable theory in which the cutoff can be sent off to infinity. This means that within the scale applicable to the effective theory, an ultraviolet fixed point exists at which the coupling constant goes to zero.

29. Empirically the total width of the ρ measured turned out to be ∼150 MeV, not 100 MeV, because of the collisional broadening of ∼50 MeV.
