title: Polarizability of stereoregular polymers.
abstract: The Genkin-Mednis approach to the longitudinal polarizability of infinite polymer chains is revisited. It is shown that the correction of a small error in the formula for the dipole oscillator strength brings that quantity to a manifestly antihermitian form and leads to greater consistency in the computation of related quantities.
