25. Here, "ferromagnetism" is understood in the generalized sense, as ordering of whatever discrete degrees of freedom present in the system, and not necessarily just spin.

53. While we believe the qualitative behavior of the edge and bulk gaps [Eqs. and and Fig. ] is correctly captured by the present approach, we do not expect these dependencies to be necessarily quantitatively accurate, due to the rather crude approximations involved. A more reliable quantitative behavior can be anticipated from the generalization of the approach of Ref..
