    We consider the critical properties of points of continuous glass transition as one can find in liquids in presence of constraints or in liquids in porous media. Through a one loop analysis we show that the critical Replica Field Theory describing these points can be mapped in the Ï•4\phi^4-Random Field Ising Model. We confirm our analysis studying the finite size scaling of the pp-spin model defined on sparse random graph, where a fraction of variables is frozen such that the phase transition is of a continuous kind.Comment: The paper has been completely revised. A completely new part with simulations of a p-spin glass model on random graph has been included. An appendix with the Mathematica worksheet used in the calculation of the diagrams has also been adde
