10. The limitation to intermediate and strong coupling is a technical one: at weak coupling size effects become more relevant and the adiabatic procedure employed in this work might fail.

17. In one dimension and exactly at U = ∞ all spin configurations are degenerate: however in the U → ∞ limit the spin degeneracy is lifted and the ground state of the Heisenberg model is singled out.

19. With the notation adopted in this work, at U → ∞, ε s (Q) = J π 2 | cos (Q) | for π 2 < Q < 3 π 2.
20. Our definition of the spinon momentum Q, which for U → ∞ must reduce to the total momentum of the Heisenberg wave function in Eq., differs from the one usually adopted in Bethe Ansatz studies (p s) (Ref.): Q = 3 2 π - p s.

23. At the special values of k defined by the coincidence of the two singularities the critical exponent changes from 1/2 to 3/4.
24. In experiments the lower branch is not detected because it usually overlaps with other valence bands of the compound.
25. The accuracy of the single spinon approximation is similar also at weaker coupling: for U = 4 t the completeness condition is violated at most by 0.015 at all k 's.
