23. Here we neglect nonlinear corrections to the temperature dependence of the superfluid stiffness which tend to slightly suppress Tc.

27. Note the qualitative difference between the lines corresponding to t =t/5 and t =t/4. For a range of doping levels (x<0.12) t =t/5 happens to be just under a critical coupling strength below which the metallic layer does not contribute to Tc. That is, the superfluid density of the metallic layer falls to zero at a temperature lower than the homogeneous underdoped Tc. In this regime the curve Tc (x) simply follows the bulk Tc of the underdoped film.
28. The fact that the interlayer hopping is much smaller than t/5 can be inferred, for example, from resistivity measurements (Ref.), which find the anisotropy ρc / ρab ∼1000.
