A Diagrammatic Interpretation of the Boltzmann Equation
Abstract
We study nonlinear response in weakly coupled nonequilibrium φ4 theory in the context of both classical transport theory and real time quantum field theory, based on a generalized Kubo formula which we derive. A novel connection between these two approaches is established which provides a diagrammatic interpretation of the Boltzmann equation.
