18. 14) the zero-mode wave function is inversely proportional to the distance from the impurity site, which implies that the normalization constant is proportional to 1/√lnL, where L is the linear system size L. Strictly speaking, therefore, the zero mode is not a localized state.

22. Charge density is found to be uniform except at the impurity sites, although the spin density spatially varies.
23. If we sum the moments in half of the total lattice points, i.e., in the rectangle with side lengths L/2 and √3L/2 around an impurity, the local moment is unity for any U.
24. The zero-mode wave function on sublattice α around an impurity site on sublattice α does not vanish exactly, but is negligibly small and tends to vanish when the distance between the two impurities goes to infinity.
