24. We point out that the problem considered here is distinct from previous RG implementations in the vicinity of a van Hove point, which features the continuum of gapless excitations. See, e.g., I.

31. In this case, the RPA corresponds to a selective resummation of Feynman diagrams, while ignoring others that are of the same order.
