Evolution equations of the coherence function in an inhomogeneous, relativistic plasma: I. general theory
ROGER SERGYSELS, R. Balescu · Transport Theory and Statistical Physics · 1972
Two general evolution equations are derived for the space-time autocorrelation function of the electric field in an inhomogeneous, relativistic plasma. The powerful methods of nonequilibrium statistical mechanics are used to show that these equations can be considered to be generalizations of the radiative-transfer equation.
