Abstract
Wick's theorem for a nonequilibrium system with initial correlations is used to derive a diagrammatic perturbation theory for reduced density matrices, the single-particle density matrix being studied explicitly. This is extended to the derivation of kinetic equations and a convenient form for markovian kinetic equations is found. This method is independent of Liouville operator methods.
