23. The interaction potential between fermions is written there in a slightly different form, which, however, can be reduced [M. Khodas, A. Kamenev, and L. I. Glazman (unpublished)] to the one we present in the text.

25. Surprisingly, Mott formula still yields a reasonably good approximation for thermopower even if the temperature is comparable to the energy scale over which the transmission amplitude changes value, see A.
