Abstract
A Lorentz-covariant quantum Liouville equations for the density operator in functional of hypersurface from the T-S equation and obtained formal solution for the reduced density operator, which is also in co-functional calculus, was derived. This was done using the projection operator technique and the functional calculus. It was shown that the formalism can be applied to the practical cases such as the vacuum polarization.
