Abstract
We propose a generalization of the fractal cluster model below the transition temperature. This picture is directly derived from the observation that after a quench from Tg to a lower temperature, ageing of the dynamics leads, at very large ages, to a new critical behavior. The number of spins involved is reduced by the amount of spins frozen through the quench. This picture is coherent with all of the experimental results below Tg.
