53. The physics does not, of course, depend on the order in which the system is set up. A similar argument holds for starting with the RKKY interaction and then adding the Kondo-screening channels.

56. The marginal operator O that becomes allowed in the presence of a Dzyaloshinski-Moriya interaction can be written as O= (h1†) A (h2) A y, where hi are isospin- SU (2) 1 Wess-Zumino-Witten (WZW) fields with spin 1/2 and is a spin- SU (2) 2 WZW field with spin 1 (Ref.).
57. Conversely, a system that is not critical at first may become critical upon introducing spin-orbit interactions.
58. It should be kept in mind that in the presence of charge transfer, the fixed point is stable only in the case of particle-hole symmetry (Ref.).
