Abstract:
The approximate equation for the Green's function of a system of
emitters interacting with a photon thermal bath is investigated. A
condition under which superradiance occurs in the nonequilibrium
case is derived. The influence of the initial conditions on the
dynamics of the system is discussed. It is shown that the kinetic
equation for the total spin of the system admits (under definite
conditions) an exponentially relaxing solution, the equilibrium
value being obtained in the limit $t\rightarrow\infty$.
