Reply to Comment on "Stripe glasses: self generated randomness in a uniformly frustrated system"

Abstract

Using our previous results for the configurational entropy of a stripe glass as well as a variational result for the bare surface tension of entropic droplets we show that there is no disagreement between the numerical simulations of Grousson et al. and our theory. The claim that our theory disagrees with numerical simulations is based on the assumption that the surface tension is independent of the frustration parameter Q of the model. However, we show in this Reply that it varies strongly with Q and that the resulting Q-dependence of the kinetic fragility agrees with the one obtained by Grousson et al. We believe that this answers the questions raised in the Comment by Grousson et al.
