1 online resource text und Field theoretic operators for the charge, rho, and current J, densities of the electron gas were obtained using the Darwin Hamiltonian in 'second quantized' form.Temperature dependent Green's functions were formed from certain averaged combinations of the field creation and annihilation operators.Equations of motion were obtained for these Green's functions, and rho and j were written in terms of the Green's functions. In order that rho and j might be expressed explicitly in terms of the perturbing field, formal functional series expansions were obtained for rho and j in terms of the potentials.Connecting relations obtained from the requirements of gauge invariance and charge conservation were used to show the general result that rho and j reduce to functionals of the electric field alone.(Author Modified Abstract) Leon A.
