11. In the following, we will make a loose use of the expression impurity band to indicate this group of six split impurity levels in the gap.

30. A simplified version of this model was considered in Ref.. Essentially the same model was used in Ref. to interpret the experimental results. Here we consider a slightly more generalized version and we look in detail its properties in different regimes of the parameters defining the model.
31. In general, the effective hopping parameters are also off-diagonal in orbital index. In the spirit of the qualitative description of the toy model we disregard this complication.

33. Within the toy model, this choice of labeling the states of higher energy as bonding is just a convention since we do not really have a continuum from the valence band. However we will see that this convention is consistent with the results of the numerical calculations for the real system, where a valence-band quasiontinuum does exist.
34. Nonadditive Coulomb correction means that the As neighboring the two Mn receives V off rather than 2 V off in the V corr term in Eq..

38. Gaussians with a magnitude proportional to the calculated lattice-model LDOS are placed at each atomic position in the (110) plane. The Gaussians are given a full width at half maximum equal to half the nearest-neighbor distance in order to emulate the finite spatial resolution in the STM experiments and a logarithmic color scale is applied to facilitate comparison with the constant current-mode STM images.

48. One exception is again the LSDA calculation of Ref., which finds J = 15 meV, in good agreement with our result, despite their small supercell corresponding to x = 0.009.
