17. In the case of a small Fermi surface where momentum conservation dominates, we expect this to be a long-existing result but we were not able to find a related reference.
18. Additional logarithmic temperature dependences of the scattering vertices are expected even in the Fermi-liquid regime as it is well known from Fermi liquid theory.
