20. M.B. Walkerand (unpublished), uses a different approach to anisotropic SFLT combining a microscopic Hartree-Fock-type theory with the Landau functional for QP’s. We are unable to make direct contact with his results, which differ from ours, but believe our approach to be more general; see Ref. 24.

25. The question of an underlying “normal” FL in the cuprates at low temperatures is a difficult one. Experimentally, magnetic fields which destroy superconductivity at low T in some underdoped cuprates seem to lead to an insulating state. However, fields and temperatures that destroy superconductivity might well induce fluctuations of the SC order parameter which destroy coherent QP’s. From a theoretical point of view also the separation of the original interaction into a correlation term and a pairing term poses issues beyond the scope of this work, and we make no attempt to address them here.

30. For electrons with a density-density interaction the diamagnetic term may be obtained by shifting (formula presented) and computing the energy to (formula presented) This is, however, not valid for QP’s, since the Landau interaction function (in the isotropic limit) also includes terms of the form (formula presented) which resembles a “current-current” interaction. Such effects are apparently ignored in the approach of Ref. 16.
