38. 3 is the effective hopping integral along the c-axis (or z-axis). However, in this paper, we follow the bandstructure of Eqs. (4) and (5). The hexagonal lattice (Eq. (A9)) is left for a future calculation.
39. In the general case, i.e., with intra- and inter-band pairing, we have to follow the steps of Ref. [2]. However, in this paper, for simplicity, we use intra-band pairing only. An extension to inter-band pairing is under way.
