37. The one-dimensional Brillouin zone has been sampled by 32 k points in the full-frequency RPA calculations, by up to 128 k points in the GPP ones and by up to 512 k points when solving the BS equation. The frequency-dependent dielectric matrix has been calculated using up to 300 empty bands and a 3 Ry energy cutoff and has been sampled along the real-frequency axis using a fine grid with a spacing of 0.1 eV up to 10 eV and a coarser grid from 10 eV to 40 eV. I have included four valence and four conduction bands in the BS calculations.

50. Similar compensation effects have also been noticed in the case of semiconductor quantum dots;

54. I assume that the LDA wave functions of the CNT-metal system belong either to the CNT or to the metal, neglecting the possibility that states above the vacuum level can be delocalized over both systems. This approximation should introduce little error in the calculated properties of states localized on the CNT.
55. Screening in the exchange term was also found to be appropriate in the computation of optical spectra in quantum dots when only a small set of particle-hole states are included in the calculation [see

57. In metallic CNTs the free carriers screen out the added charge (the induced charge integrates to the negative of the added charge); this should result in QP renormalization much reduced in comparison to the semiconducting case.
