18. Note that the processes involving electrons deep within the Fermi sea are enhanced. It turns out, however, that this is overcompensated by the suppression at high energies.

20. The sine-Gordon term, resulting from the backscattering processes, is well studied and can be analyzed by RG methods (see Ref. 16). Its proper treatment results in a noninteracting bosonic field theory with renormalized parameters.
