The number of compact structures of a single condensed polymer (SCP), with similar free energies, grows exponentially with the degree of polymerization. In analogy with structural glasses (SGs), we expect that at low temperatures chain relaxation should occur by activated transitions between the compact metastable states. By evolving the states of the SCP, linearly coupled to a reference state, we show that, below a dynamical transition temperature (T_d), the SCP is trapped in a metastable state leading to slow dynamics. At a lower te
