68. In order to obtain Eq. 5 in the work of Averkiev (Ref.), it is sufficient to replace the EFA Hamiltonian Hk by the kinetic energy term only, thus Hk = 2 k2 2≡ ε0, and carry out the integration over time. We note that a scattering term equivalent to that derived here was found using the Keldysh formalism by E. L. Ivchenko, Y. B. Lyanda Geller, and G. E. Pikus, Sov. Phys. JETP SPHJAR 0038-5646 71, 551 (1990).
