Equation of motion for nonequilibriuni Green functions

The equation of motion for nonequilibrium Green functions is derived within the framework of the Schwingerand Keldysh formalism of perturbation expansion. For nonequilibrium distribution Green functions, the equation of motion derived from quantum mechanics contains undefined singularities, whose explicit form depends on the specific initial or boundary condition. In the present work, the exact expression of singular terms is found in the equation of motion from the time-looped perturbation theory in which the adiabatic initial condition is implied. Unlike the usual Dyson perturbation formalism or the well known Kadanoff-Baym equation of motion, our resulting equation can be adopted directly for calculations without the graphical analysis, which depends on the specific form of the Hamiltonian. On the basis of this equation of motion, the procedure of a nonperturbalive solution is outlined and potential applications are briefly discussed.
