Abstract
It is demonstrated that the third-order term in the density expansion of quantum-mechanical transport coefficients diverges. This implies a nonanalytic density dependence for quantum gases which is in addition to the familiar nonanalytic behavior associated with quantum degeneracy. This divergence for quantum systems is completely analogous to that which was recently discovered for classical systems.Keywords
