The structure of the transport coefficients in the approach to the glass transition is characterized by an essential singularity in their behaviour as functions of the temperature, variously known as the Vogel-Fulcher or Dolittle or Williams-Landel-Ferry laws. This behaviour can be derived directly in certain simple models notably a glass of liquid crystal polymers where mean field theory may be applied. In this paper a new class of closed expressions for transport coefficients are derived and it is shown that they can be used to derive the Vogel-Fulcher law.
