pendicular to z 2 , the locus of points with the same energy as z 2 (i.e., E 2 = 0)
is given from eq. (2.60) as

These planes intersect in the z 2 straight line and are symmetric with respect to the
plane z 2 z 3 . Their slope depends on the spectrum of R . These planes (defined as
constant E 2 planes) divide the weight space into a (double) volume of attraction
( E 2 > 0) and into a (double) volume of repulsion ( E 2 < 0) (from now on they
will be defined as cone of attraction and cone of repulsion , even if, actually,
there is only one cone dividing the two volumes) from the point of view of the
saddle direction z 2 . Figure 2.1 illustrates this analysis.
