Description
Using the Schwinger-Keldysh technique, we derive the transport equations for a system of quantum scalar fields. We first discuss the general structure of the equations and then their collision terms. Taking into account up to three-loop diagrams in φ3 model and up to four-loop diagrams in φ4 model, we obtain transport equations which include the contributions of multiparticle collisions and particle production processes, in addition to mean-field effects and binary interactions
