Abstract
We study a Fermi gas with general translation-invariant many-body interactions on a (v≥3)-dimensional lattice. A complete analysis is given of the perturbative terms up to second order and the program put forward by N. M. Hugenholtz for the derivative of the Boltzmann equation is verified to second order.
