Abstract

Solutions to the BBGKY hierarchy of equations for molecular Brownian particle in ideal gas are considered, and exact relations are derived between probability distribution of path of the particle, its derivatives in respect to gas density and irreducible many-particle correlations of gas atoms with the path. It is shown that all the correlations always give equally important contributions to evolution of the path distribution, and therefore the exact statistical mechanics theory does not reduce to classical kinetics even in the low-density limit.
