43. The spectrum of the GQDM is invariant under a global change in sign of all kinetic processes around single hexagons. This corresponds to a change between bosonic and fermionic conventions for the dimers as discussed, for the square lattice, in the second paper of Ref..
44. Note that a bosonic convention has been used in Refs. leading to an overall change in sign for all the kinetic processes in Eq..
45. Reference also investigates numerically all higher-order resonances on a small finite 36-site cluster (restricting to the relevant topological sector).
