17. The Casimir invariants CR and TR are defined as a=1o (G) =1dim (R) DR (Ta)ij DR (Ta)jk = CR δik and i,j=1dim (R) DR (Ta)ij DR (Tb)ji = TR δab, where R is the representation and Ta are the generators of G, so that for SU (Nc), CA = Nc for the adjoint (A) and Tfund =1 /2 for the fundamental representation, etc. Cf denotes CR for the fermion representation.

36. As was observed in (endnote [26] of the first paper of) Ref. [2], this is consistent with the fact that (2.6), in general, maps a′=- b1 / b2 to a≠- b1 / b2, since (2.6) is an exact result, whereas the equality of two-loop IR zero values holds for the truncations of βα and βα′ to two-loop order.

41. Here and elsewhere, when an analytic expression is given for Nf that evaluates to a nonintegral real value, it is understood implicitly that one infers an appropriate neighboring integral value of Nf from it.
