TLDR
In this article, the derivation of kinetic equations for the classical and quantum (Wigner) distribution functions for a plasma with non-Abelian interactions is outlined, with particular emphasis on the relation between the color structures in classical and the quantum theories.

Transport Equations for the {QCD} Quark Wigner Operator

TL;DR: In this article, an exact gauge covariant equation of motion for the SU(N) quantum chromodynamic Wigner operator was derived, which naturally splits up into an on-shell constraint equation and a transport equation.
