69. Although cumulant expansions can be extended indefinitely, note that J. Marcienkiewicz, Math. Z. 44, 612 (1939), deter mined that there are no well-defined distributions that are completely described by a finite number of greater than two cumulants. In this sense, the truncation at second order, as used here, is somewhat special. See also Ref. [24].

77. A consequence of the ℑ(β) periodicity of the phase space is that it can be mapped onto a torus, in which case j/p can be considered a winding number.

79. As the Wigner function is only for illustrative purposes, we have simplified by allowing both dynamical variables to be infinite and continuous for its determination.

81. Equation (A2) has clearly a very similar form to Eq. (34). While this similarity is obviously not coincidental, one should nevertheless bear in mind that the interpretation of these equations is rather different.
