46. c is principally different from that of coherence lengths calculated in [26,8,28,29].) One key aspect of the τ-based GL expansion in this paper requires a correction. In these papers the leading order of the expansion yield field equations corresponding to a system with U(1) × U(1) broken symmetry. The correct leading order GL expansion in two-band superconductors should however respect the broken U(1) symmetry of two-band superconductors [29]. Also, as discussed in [29] the GL functionals similar to those used in the current MS are justified on formal grounds (in a certain range of parameters) contrary what was stated in the above works.

49. Nonpairwise interaction forces should arise in superconducting models beyond London approximation, when non-linearities become important. Long-range intervortex forces are described by a linear theory and thus are pairwise. In single-component GL model the nonlinear effects on interaction of three closely placed vortices were studied in A.Chaves, F.M. Peeters, G.A. Farias, and M.V. Milosevic Phys. Rev. B 83, 054516 (2011). Compared to single-component case, in two-component systems [30] the non-pairwise forces are naturally different and much more diverse because of the composite structure of vortex and thus more diverse ways a vortex can be deformed by its neightbors. Besides that in contrast to single-component case, they have direct influence on structure formation.
