The Landau equation including memory and energy conservation
In the context of the reduced density operator technique the derivation of non-Markovian kinetic equations is briefly reviewed. It is shown that the time retardation in the collision integrals leads to total energy conservation, while the ordinary quantum Boltzmann equation provides only kinetic ene...

| Summary: | In the context of the reduced density operator technique the derivation of non-Markovian kinetic equations is briefly reviewed. It is shown that the time retardation in the collision integrals leads to total energy conservation, while the ordinary quantum Boltzmann equation provides only kinetic energy conservation. |
