15. Note that "mean-field" is often meant to be synonymous with "mode coupling." This identification is based on results obtained for fully connected spin systems. See, e.g., L.F. Cugliandolo, in Slow Relaxations and Nonequilibrium Dynamics in Condensed Matter, edited by J.-L. Barrat et al. (EDP Sciences-Springer Verlag, 2003), and references therein.

20. Such a procedure was applied to the East model in Ref. 17. For an extended discussion of two different mode-coupling approximations for the East model see S. J. Pitts, T. Young, and H. C. Andersen, J. Chem. Phys. 113, 8671 (2000) and Ref. 12.
21. It is has been claimed (Ref. 13) that the exact low density result for the diffusion constant is D=c/2. We believe that a more sophisticated selfconsistent approximation may reproduce the exact value. This point is left for a future study.
