Abstract
The brief review of the generalized density matrix (GDM) method in the theory of nuclear collective motion is given. Basic concepts of the method are formulated and relations with traditional approaches (static mean field, time-dependent mean field, random phase approximation, cranking model and so on) are established. The crucial role of conservation laws is stressed. Applications of the method to some problems of rotation and large amplitude collective motion are discussed.
