Working directly at *M* = 1, the steps in the appendices are followed up to equation (28). With *M* = 1 and *V*₀² = *N**E*, the second term in the exponential remains of order *N* but the second is of order 1 and becomes another contribution to the prefactor. Comparing the resulting expression with (41) in the limit of α to zero with *V*₀² = *E*²/α, the two approaches result in the same effective action. In fact, an earlier version of this manuscript included two derivations, but the one for *M* of order 1 was deemed redundant in light of this. A note about this point has been added to the amended manuscript. + * We agree, and further emphasized this in the amended manuscript. # Report #2 + + 1. Ok, complex m^* solutions + 2. + 3. + 4.

The Euler characteristic calculated using the alternating sum over the number of cells of increasing dimension is χ(*S*₁) = 1 – 1 = 0. + * Ok + 4.
