Reply to Comment on "Two time scales and violation of the Fluctuation-Dissipation Theorem in a finite dimensional model for structural glasses"

Abstract

In a Comment (cond-mat/0103444) on our recent paper "Two time scales and violation of FDT in a finite dimensional model for structural glasses" [1], A. de Candia and A. Coniglio show evidence that the equilibrium overlap distribution P(q) of the frustrated Ising lattice gas (FILG) does not coincide with the one that could be estimated from the off-equilibrium results presented in [1]. In this Reply we show new results on the glassy phase of the FILG that clarify the controversy. Nevertheless, the structure of the equilibrium P(q) remains an open problem. [1] F. Ricci-Tersenghi, D.
