Abstract
We derive a theory for small amplitude motion about states in thermal equilibrium. This motion couples mean-field oscillations and occupation number relaxations. The theory contains the effects of two-body collisions treated beyond the Markov approximation. The damping of collective modes is studied in a stochastic two-level model. The widths of giant resonances in finite nuclei are estimated using sum rules.
