16. 2. Different momenta in directions xy are decoupled; thus the fixed point is not related to second-order melting. This also explains the appearance of unexpected critical exponents.

37. A solvable toy model resembling GL was studied in N. K. Wilkin and M. A. Moore, Phys. Rev. B 47, 957 (1993). The conclusion was that the BP is unreliable in this model. We however repeated this calculation and found that the correct result is reproduced provided order is high enough (above 100).
