47. A more accurate picture of such a diagram would include the temperature dependence of the static dielectric constant [cf., e.g., S. Shokhovets, O. Ambacher, B. K. Meyer, and G. Gobsch, Phys. Rev. B 78, 035207 (2008)]. It would affect the determination of the Bohr radius and thus the exciton saturation density. In such a case, the horizontal line in Fig. would exhibit a slightly negative slope. 10.1103/PhysRevB.78.035207

58. From very negative detunings up to zero detuning, the effective mass of polaritons lying at the bottom of the trap only changes by a factor of 2 with respect to the mass of cavity photons m p h. Its impact on condensation will therefore play a role essentially for positive values when its increase will be several times larger than m p h.
