Abstract

We derive the relativistic quantum transport- and constraint equations for a relativistic field theory of baryons coupled to scalar and vector mesons. We extract a selfconsistent momentum dependent Vlasov term and the structure of quantum corrections for the Vlasov-Uehling-Uhlenbeck approach. The inclusion of pions and deltas into this transport theory is discussed.
