Abstract
We estimate the number of metastable states of a self generated stripe glas s, relevant for the formation of glassy doped Mott insulators. Using replic a bound states, we demonstrate that the configurational entropy is the diff erence between the entropy of the stripe liquid and of an amorphous stripe solid with phonon-type excitations. Using simple scaling laws we then deter mine the relationship between the modulation length and the configurational entropy.
