4. a We assumed here that, if monomer (m) returns to its initial position in the tube, it also recuperates the exact initial orientation. In fact, the arguments of Secs. V. B and V. C require only that (m) recuperates a finite fraction of its initial orientation.
5. [formula omitted] is a statistical weight per monomer while W is a weight per unit length.

7. The fixed species might be a nuclear spin, or a paramagnetic impurity of spin S (acting through terms such as [formula omitted] in the dipolar interaction).
8. Again it must be emphasized that w is strongly non-Gaussian: imposing a Gaussian form, one would come out with a very different correlation function [formula omitted]
