17. We use the term deep dimer for all nonuniversal two-body bound states. This means that their binding energy is / (m r02), where r0 is the range of the interaction potential.

19. From here on we assume to be in the low-energy (k→0) and zero-range (r0 →0) limit.

27. In principle one has to include all deeply bound states, but since the binding energies of the next deeper bound dimers are orders of magnitude larger their relative changes are small. Thus they do not contribute to a magnetic field dependence of η, and we neglect them for simplicity.
