20. One massless boson remains (as a redundant degree of freedom), corresponding to the gauge field for a Faddeev-Popov ghost. In the Weinberg-Salam theory, this gauge field is absorbed by the electromagnetic field. Eq. (3) gives a constraint on the redundancy.

35. y. When a bi-layer or multilayer superconducting film is much thinner than the penetration depth, we can consider it as the multi-component superconductor. This multilayer film can be called a pseudo multi-band superconductor.
