Abstract

In their Rejoinder [arXiv:1105.1316v1], Levin and Pakter repeat some of the points raised in their previous Comment [arXiv:1104.0697v1] (already refuted in our first Reply [arXiv:1104.5036v1]), and present some new ones concerning our recent publication [arXiv:1008.1421]. Their new criticisms are also refuted in the present Surrejoinder, whenever relevant for the results of our Letter. It is our understanding that, in their Comment and Rejoinder, Levin and Pakter do not provide any relevant contributions to the problem addressed in our previous work. We therefore consider the present discussion as closed.
