Two (partially related) research projects are planed: to work out Baym-Kadanoff equations (including renormalization) and their solution with perspectives (i) in the discussion of decoherence and entropy in non-equilibrium thermodynamics (ii) in applications in models of cosmic fluctuations generated in an inflationary period (iii) in application in models for baryogenesis. Secondly the “worldline“ method should be developed to obtain higher orders in the derivative expansion, in particular CP violating terms
