Abstract:
The Weyl symbol of the operator exponential $\exp\{-\beta[(2\mu)^{-1}\hat{p^2}+V\hat{(q)}]\}$
is regarded as a solution of the Bloch equation in the phase space.
The unperturbed equation is separated in accordance with the $\hbar$ expansion
of the product of Weyl symbols. The exact solution and Green's function of the unperturbed Bloch equation are found in analytic form. An iterative procedure for constructing the perturbation-theory series is proposed.
