45. For a system with edges, the general argument using translational symmetry may be not directly applicable. However, the optical measurements (Ref.) were performed in a contactless manner using a small laser beam far away from the sample edges. Thus, edge effects are not relevant and are not considered in our paper.

66. It is easy to check that a similar calculation for Qyx (ωn) gives Qyx (ωn) =- Qxy (ωn), so it indeed represents the Hall response.

68. As discussed in Sec. 5, because θK is proportional to the dominant part of σxy, Eq. 36 also gives the temperature dependence of the normalized Kerr angle θK (T) / θK (0).

71. Using the estimates for τ and ni quoted in the text, we find that the expansion parameter u0 N (0) ∼1 has the borderline value for applicability of the perturbation theory with respect to the impurity potential.

73. We estimate ωab using the formula ωab = ωc N eff ab / N eff c, where ωc =0.32eV is the out-of-plane plasma frequency, and N eff ab / N eff c ∼80 is the ratio of the effective densities of carriers along the different axes, as explained in Ref.
