19. In a small range (Formula presented) both (Formula presented) and (Formula presented) increase with (Formula presented) which might indicate that a chiral glass phase is stable to thermal fluctuations. However, with the limited system sizes used it is not possible to rule out that this small range shrinks to zero for sufficiently large (Formula presented) leading to (Formula presented) Similar behavior has been found in an Ising model for a varying concentration of antiferromagnetic bonds [N. Kawashima and H. Rieger, Europhys. Lett. 39, 85 (1997)].
