Abstract
Eikonal approximations to thermodynamic Green's functions are introduced into the functional representations of quantum statistical mechanics. In terms of summations and quadratures over an instantaneous interparticle potential, one obtains explicit representations at reasonably large temperatures for quantum corrections to classical cluster integrals.Keywords
