Time Evolution of Non-Equilibrium Effective Action
Abstract
The time evolution of correlation functions in statistical systems is described by an exact functional differential equation for the corresponding generating functionals. This allows for a systematic discussion of non-equilibrium physics and the approach to equilibrium without the need of solving the nonlinear microscopic equations of motion or computing the time dependence of the probability distribution explicitly.
