45. Such a behavior differs from the canonical ensemble where the canonical free energy or other thermodynamic functions may develop nonanalyticities only in the thermodynamic limit N → ∞.

47. This challenge is only apparent. In general, the order of a nonanalyticity in the infinite system is not necessarily equal to the large- N limit of the order of finite system nonanalyticities as this identification would require two limiting procedures to commute.

50. A theorem according to which topology changes, and hence the stationary points of the potential energy, would be a necessary condition for the phase transition in systems with short-ranged and confining interactions has been announced in Ref. and its proof has been presented in Ref.. However, a counterexample has been found and discussed in Ref..

68. These configurations can be generalized to the case in which there is a different constant angle for each of the d independent directions of the lattice; however, for simplicity we shall restrict to the case of just one angle, equal for all directions.

80. The criterion only refers to singularities in the entropy density (which reflects into those of the free energy density when the ensemble equivalence holds, as in the models considered here) and does not make any reference to the particular type of transition. Hence, in principle, the determinant criterion could be applicable also to the two-dimensional case, despite the peculiar nature of the BKT transition. Due to the weakness of the singularity in the thermodynamic functions at the BKT transition point one may have expected a weaker signal than in the three-dimensional case where the phase transition is a "standard" ferromagnetic one; our data, however, did not show a clear signal in either case.
