Abstract

Equations of motion are derived for the normal and anomalous single-electron density matrices of a Fermi liquid using a time-dependent finite-temperature generalized coherent-state variational ansatz for the many-body density matrix. Self-consistent equations for the order parameter Δ allow us to investigate the interplay of the Coulomb repulsion and pairing attraction in homogeneous and inhomogeneous Fermi liquids with spontaneously broken symmetry such as high-temperature superconductors. The temperature of the Kosterlitz-Thouless transition to the two-dimensional superfluidity is calculated.
