38. Also found in SU (2N) mean-field theory; see M. Vojta, Y. Zhang, and S. Sachdev, Phys. Rev. B PRBMDO 0163-1829 10.1103/PhysRevB.62.6721 62, 6721 (2000), and references therein.
39. Our 4×4 solution bears some similarities with those obtained within SU (2N) Sp (2N) mean-field theories; see M. Vojta, Phys. Rev. B PRBMDO 0163-1829 10.1103/PhysRevB.66.104505 66, 104505 (2002). Note, however, that the large- N Sp (2N) scheme implies a superconducting state.
