19. The (non)existence of isolated states is intimately related to the nature of the ground state, see, e.g., A. Süto, Z. Phys. B: Condens. Matter 44, 121 (1981).
20. The similarity between the two models can be traced back to the lattice bipartiteness and the existence of a common height representation for both the dimer coverings [H. W. J. Blote and H. J. Hilhorst, J. Phys. A 15, L631 (1982)] and 6 VM states (Ref. 5), where isolated states are those with a maximum "tilt."
