Transport theory for an interacting fermionic system is reviewed and applied to the chiral Lagrangian of the Nambu–Jona-Lasinio model. Two expansions must be applied: an expansion in the inverse number of colors, 1/Nc, due to the nature of the strong coupling theory, and a semiclassical expansion, in powers of ħ. The quasiparticle approximation is implemented at an early stage, and spin effects are omitted. The self-energy is evaluated, self-consistently only in the Hartree approximation, and semi-perturbatively in the collision integral. In the Hartree approximation,O((1/Nc)0), the Vlasov equation is recovered toO(ħ1), together with an on-mass shell constraint equation, that is automatically fulfilled by the quasiparticle ansatz. The expressions for the self-energy to orderO((1/Nc)) lead to the collision term. Here one sees explicitly that particle-antiparticle creation and annihilation processes are suppressed that would otherwise be present, should an off-shell energy spectral function be admitted. A clear identification of thes,tanduchannel scattering processes in connection with the self-energy graphs is made and the origin of the mixed terms is made evident. Finally, after ordering according to powers in ħ, a Boltzmann-like form for the collision integral is obtained.
