58. Technically, one performs a gradient expansion in the relative coordinate x1 - x2. In this procedure, it is crucial to understand the products of fermionic operators in the sense of operator product expansions. Corrections to the leading terms are then irrelevant in the RG sense.

60. Note that Eq. 16 excludes the case of ultralocal contact interactions.
61. It is in principle possible that such a process becomes important if a collective density readjustment between subbands takes place in the wire. However, this can only happen for almost equivalent subbands, see Ref. for a detailed discussion. Here we assume that the SOI is strong enough to guarantee that such a readjustment does not occur.

63. We adopt the convention ηνR ηνL η-ν,R η-ν,L =1.
