35. Recent solvation dynamics studies support this description, at least for many low molecular-weight glassformers. Polymeric systems on the other hand generally show intrinsic intradomain nonexponential relaxation. See Ref. 24.

46. This property has been shown rigorously for the spherical version of the model (Ref. 28) and for the O(n) version with n strictly larger than 2 (Ref. 29). For Ising spins (n=1), the transition line for Q≠0 approaches the critical point at T* and Q=0 in a continuous, albeit nonanalytical way. However, the transition in the presence of frustration is not continuous: it is driven first-order by the fluctuations (Ref. 30).

52. Current computer simulations strongly suggest that a multistate clock model with long-range (Coulombic) frustration does indeed lead to super-Arrhenius activated dynamics (Ref. 31).

58. In this particular discussion, we do not consider the "stretching" that occurs at shorter times or higher frequencies corresponding to the von Schweidler power-law regime.
