8. Here we notice that H i v has a contribution V i v that breaks U(1) symmetry, as well as a contribution that preserves the number of electrons within each valley; the former is exponentially small in a / B while the latter, although only algebraically small, has negligible value (Ref.).

10. Here we should note that in the limit of very large mass anisotropy, the sigma-model description is no longer applicable and the system can be thought of an Ising model with coupling J ∼ Δ 0 D 2, with ordering temperature T c ∼ J. For AlAs parameter values, this estimate gives ordering temperature similar to the one obtained from the sigma-model description.
