16. Note that in order to determine which N0 in Table 1 is realized in a time-reversal-invariant spin-triplet superconductor, we need the knowledge of the gap function in addition to that of the Fermi surface structure. Nevertheless, for the cases in the first row in Table 1 (a) and the first and third rows in Table 1 (b), we can conclude that N0 becomes nonzero only from the knowledge of the Fermi surface topology.

21. This assumption is met for most cases, however, for a system with a sublattice structure, the parity operator may also exchange the sublattice structure (for example, see Ref.).
