Note: A replica liquid theory of binary mixtures

It has been known that the binary replica liquid theory (RLT) is inconsistent with its one-component counterpart; In the limit that all atoms are identical, the configurational entropy and thus the glass transition point calculated by the binary RLT differ from those obtained by the one-component RLT. More specifically, an extra composition-dependent term, or the mixing entropy, remains finite in the configurational entropy computed by the binary RLT. In this Short Note, we reformulate the RLT in order to resolve this problem.
