14. Note that the tunneling signal decays exponentially with layer distance from the tip and therefore, we expect the results presented in this paper to be essentially the same as for a semi-infinite solid.

34. The d wave and ZRS symmetries are not uniquely determined by the present choice of pairing. For instance, we could choose an on-site pairing at the oxygen px/y orbitals with Δxx =- Δyy. In that case, Eq. could be written in the x direction as Fαβ = Ge,αx Δxx G h,xβ 0, with a corresponding expression in the y direction. If α=d and β=d±x, the sign of Ge,αx G h,xβ 0 is totally determined by the product of the lobes of the d orbitals of the neighboring Cu atoms. This is, however, invariant under rotation by π/2 and thus, Fd,d±x/ d±y follows the symmetry of Δxx/yy.

42. The distinct VHS peaks in the computed spectrum are expected to be broadened to yield a smooth hump much like the experimental spectrum due to self-energy corrections resulting from magnetic response of the electron gas in the -400 meV range. These self-energy corrections are not included in the present calculations.

44. Note that in solving the Dyson's equation, the initial Green's function for each k point is a diagonal matrix of complex Lorentzians. An infinite number of k points would be required for a final Green's function without any artificial "shoulders," although the imaginary part of the self-energy acts to smooth away the unwanted structures.

54. Although TP and TH are formulated in terms of LDOS, both approaches can, in principle, be decomposed into a spectral-function form since the density matrix can be decomposed in this way regardless of the basis set employed.
