Abstract
Infinite homogeneous Fermi systems in the degenerate regime are described by the Uehling-Uhlenbeck equation. The eigenvalue problem associated with the linearized collision operator is solved analytically. Initial value problems are studied with the help of the spectral representation of the time evolution operator. The dynamic transport coefficients of the system can then be calculated in the framework of linear response theory. As an example the viscoelastic behaviour of the Fermi liquid is related to the relaxation of a quadrupole deformation in momentum space. In this connection also the coupling of the driving field to 2p-2h excitations will be discussed. The theory is applied to normal liquid3He and to nuclear matter.
