45. Reference incorrectly stated that our paper only found the local minimum of the free energy. An explicit comparison between the free energies of different states was made in Ref.: see the first paragraph on page 3 of Ref..

54. Studies of the FFLO phase in the imbalanced Fermi gas can be found in recent papers, e.g., N. Yoshida and S.-K. Yip, Phys. Rev. A PLRAAN 1050-2947 10.1103/PhysRevA.75.063601 75, 063601 (2007);

57. This sandwiched behavior was also observed for the case of Li6 - K40 mixtures in Ref..
58. It has also been discussed for general mass ratios at resonance in Ref. and for a three-component system by T. Paananen, P. Törmä, and J.-P. Martikainen, Phys. Rev. A PLRAAN 1050-2947 10.1103/PhysRevA.75.023622 75, 023622 (2007).
59. Figure 4 of Ref. missed the structure discussed here.
