42. In Ref., it is assumed that a finite gap function is induced on the surface of a topological insulator by the proximity effect. On the other hand, in this paper, we assume that the surface state of a topological insulator does not acquire a finite gap function, although a superconducting correlation is induced.
43. For a clean and flat interface, the momentum parallel to the interface should be conserved due to translation invariance along the interface.
