19. The issue of whether the transition does give rise to divergences in the thermodynamic limit could be studied by simulations of large systems to characterise the finite size scaling, see, e.g., Finite Size Scaling and Numerical Simulation of Statistical Systems, edited by, V. Privman, (World Scientific, Singapore, 1998).
20. In many systems, vibrational and configurational entropy can compete; however, here the various contributions are all configurational, analogous to the situation in hard spheres where the freezing transition is driven by the increased local entropy of a crystal, see, e.g., P. N. Pusey, W. van Megen, P. Bartlett, B. J. Ackerson, J. G. Rarity, and S. M. Underwood, Phys. Rev. Lett. PRLTAO 0031-9007 10.1103/PhysRevLett.63.2753 63, 2753 (1989).
