Reply to Comment on Effect of polydispersity on the ordering transition of adsorbed self-assembled rigid rods

Abstract

We comment on the nature of the ordering transition of a model of equilibrium polydisperse rigid rods, on the square lattice, which is reported by Lopez et al. to exhibit random percolation criticality in the canonical ensemble, in sharp contrast to (i) our results of Ising criticality for the same model in the grand canonical ensemble [Phys. Rev. E 82, 061117 (2010)] and (ii) the absence of exponent(s) renormalization for constrained systems with logarithmic specific heat anomalies predicted on very general grounds by Fisher [M.E. Fisher, Phys. Rev. 176, 257 (1968)].
