Abstract
The mode coupling theory of polymer melt dynamics put forward recently by Schweizer is combined with the curvilinear displacement invariance of the potential energy. The resulting equation of motion of a tagged polymer chain is shown to be consistent with the reptation picture when the matrix surrounding the tagged chain is frozen.Keywords
