24. Although the detailed dynamics of the valence bonds might be different in the effective QDM and in the original Heisenberg (spin) model, the effective QDM incorporates the presence of low-energy singlet states and competing resonance loops of different sizes, and correctly describes the projected spin model.

37. (note that the more recent unpublished e-print arXiv: cond-mat/0607764v3 includes small corrections).
38. Note that the Lanczos algorithm can provide the level degeneracies by applying successive runs starting from different initial conditions and then by computing the rank of the overlap matrix of the set of (possibly different) generated GSs.
