Sumario:Through the superoperator algebraic formalism it is shown that Liouvillian self-energies derived from the equations of motion hierarchy for two-time propagators in stationary states of time independent Hamiltonians of N-particle systems are closely related to those obtained from the solution of the super-operator approach to Dyson equations (Dyson self-energies). It probes the quasi-equivalence of the two formulae, namely, they are equivalent to lower orders in the perturbative series expansion, a result valid for any kind of reference state used in the evaluation of the propagators leading to the self-energy fields. The relations obtained for the one-particle propagator are generalized to p-particle propagators (p < N). Thus, it shows the existence, as in the case of one-particle propagators, of Dyson like equations and consequently that the Liouvillian formulation is adequate to solve the decoupling problem in many-body physics allowing extensions to be made to other related fields such as the solution of the reduced Liouville quantum equation. © 1998 Elsevier Science B.V.
