19. Specifically, the proposal in Fig. 2(b) in Ref. requires moments in the unit cell to be tilted with respect to the c axis such that the sum of the in-plane moments in a unit cell is 0. The "tilt" was indeed at first deduced in polarization analysis of neutron scattering at the (101) Bragg spot. But more recent polarized measurements, at the (100) Bragg spot, also are deduced to have a "tilt"

21. This is contrary to the structure factor if the in-plane moments in a unit cell add to 0. Meanwhile, the neutron scattering measurements have been explained [Yan He and C. M. Varma, Phys. Rev. B PRBMDO 1098-0121 10.1103/PhysRevB.86.035124 86, 035124 (2012)], as a quantum effect which is also required to understand the new magnetic collective modes observed.

25. xy in the model with partially filled conduction band even when the restrictions of the model needed to get the analog of Haldane's topological phase are not met. We have checked this and found it to be so, Yan He, P. A. Lee, and C. M. Varma (unpublished).

29. There is a change in notation from Ref. to this paper. What was referred to as L in that reference is referred to as Ω, reserving the name L for orbital angular momenta.
30. There may in fact be small changes in the periodicity of the lattice due to some of the perturbations; for example, in BISCCO, the BiO layer is incommensurate with respect to the Cu-O(2) layer and so a small incommensurate distortion of the latter is mandated. This leads to the variations in the interaction energies and the kinetic energies taken into account here. But at the leading level, one need not consider the variation of the Cu-O(2) from its ideal structure.

35. The orthorhombic symmetry of some of the cuprate crystals only produces corrections to the considerations in this paper, while it is, of course, the dominant effect when considering questions of bireferingence.
