Fluctuations due to the nonlocal character of collisions

Abstract

It is shown that the collision integral describing the nonlocal character of collisions leads to the same mean-field fluctuations as proposed by Boltzmann-Langevin pictures. It is argued that this appropriate collision integral contains the fluctuation-dissipation theorems in equilibrium itself and therefore there is no need to assume additionally stochasticity. This leads to tremendous simplifications in numerical simulation schemes.
