44. The present value J H = 0.6 eV is consistent with the one obtained in Ref.19, where a different definition of J H was used. The derived estimate suggests a considerable screening of the atomic value (Ref.) of J H = 0.9 eV deduced from the Racah parameters B and C, see Ref.33.
45. As explained in the text, the effective parameter U is reduced from the intraorbital Coulomb interaction due to excitonic and polarization effects (Ref.) that accompany intersite optical transitions. The value of U deduced from the photoemission experiments, see A. E. Bocquet, T. Mizokawa, T. Saitoh, H. Namatame, and A. Fujimori, Phys. Rev. B 46, 3771 (1992) 10.1103/PhysRevB.46.3771
46. The orbital angle θ may change somewhat near the magnetic transition at T N as the balance between the superexchange and the effective orbital interactions induced by the lattice distortions changes; this effect was ignored in the present analysis.
47. Note that the error bars quoted here reflect the statistical accuracy of the data and do not include systematic errors due to the assumptions underlying this determination. The same value of t = 0.41 eV was estimated also from the CT model, Ref., and provides a satisfactory description of the magnon excitation spectra in the ferromagnetic metallic manganites, see G.

49. Note that a rather small finite weight would result from quantum fluctuations in the A -type antiferromagnetic phase, see M. Raczkowski and A. M. Oleś, Phys. Rev. B 66, 094431 (2002). 10.1103/PhysRevB.66.094431
