Abstract

A microscopic theory is proposed for transverse dynamics and zero-temperature attenuation in polarized Fermi liquids. The transport equations are a set of two coupled equations in two ‘‘partial transverse densities,’’ which do not reduce to a single equation in a mixed component of a single-particle distribution. The effective interaction is linked to an irreducible vertex by an integral equation, and cannot be given as a limit of a full vertex. A framework for a generalized nonlocal Landau theory is established. The spectrum of attenuating spin waves is calculated at arbitrary polarizations and densities.
