Abstract: The Martin-Schwinger hierarchy of correlations are reexamined and the three-particle correlations are investigated under various partial summations. Besides the known approximations of screened, ladder and maximally crossed diagrams the pair-pair correlations are considered. It is shown that the recently proposed asymmetric Bethe-Salpeter equation to avoid unphysical repeated collisions is derived as a result of the hierarchical dependencies of correlations. Exceeding the parquet approximation we show that an asymmetry appears in the selfconsistent propagators. This form is superior over the symmetric selfconsistent one since it provides the Nambu-Gorkov equations and gap equation for fermions and the Beliaev equations for bosons while from the symmetric form no gap equation results. The selfenergy diagrams which account for the subtraction of unphysical repeated collisions are derived from the pair-pair correlation in the three-particle Greenfunction. It is suggested to distinguish between two types of selfconsistency, the channel-dressed propagators and the completely dressed propagators, with the help of which the asymmetric expansion completes the Ward identity and is $Phi$-derivable.

Review text

The main purpose of the present paper is to re-examine the Martin-Schwinger hierarchical structure of correlations. The author investigates the binary collision approximation as well as three-particle correlations, which enable to derive the corresponding Bethe-Salpeter equations. Dependent on the considered channel the author obtains one complete-selfconsistent and one channel-dressed selfconsistent propagator. The binary collision approximation leads to one Hartree-Fock and one selfconsistent propagator in agreement with the Kadanoff and Martin form. This leads to the gap equation of pairing while the standard Bethe-Salpeter equation with two selfconsistent propagators does not. The proofs strongly rely on basic properties of Green functions.
