8. This situation contrasts with that in superconductors, where phenomena associated with the Pauli limit are accessible to laboratory fields: see, e.g., J. Singleton, J.A. Symington, M.-S. Nam, A. Ardavan, M. Kurmoo, and P. Day, J. Phys.: Condens. Matter, 12, L641 (2000); H. Won, K. Maki, S. Haas, N. Oeschler, F. Weickert, and P. Gegenwart, cond-mat/0306548 (unpublished). In superconductors, the characteristic energy scale that defines the transition temperature is Debye frequency of the phonons, whereas in CDW systems it is the total electronic bandwith (Refs. 1,2).

48. Note that the result depends only on q/m, and so is independent of whether we consider the 2D Fermi surface as a hole pocket with positive m and q or an electron pocket with negative m and q.
49. Note that this equation is the same as Eq. (4) of Ref. 32.
