Abstract

In Romano's Comment [Phys. Rev. E 91, 046501 (2015)] on Sec. II of our paper [Phys. Rev. E 90, 022502 (2014)], the author suggests that our findings concerning the nature of the ordering transition of our modified Lebwohl-Lasher model with two-dimensional planar rotators on a planar lattice are inconsistent with known mathematical results. We argue in this Reply that our findings are in fact in agreement with previous mathematical and simulation results and that the criticisms raised by Romano have no impact on the results presented in our paper.
