    "abstract": "We develop a covariant density matrix approach to kinetic theory of QED\nplasmas subjected into a strong external electromagnetic field. A canonical\nquantization of the system on space-like hyperplanes in Minkowski space and a\ncovariant generalization of the Coulomb gauge is used. The condensate mode\nassociated with the mean electromagnetic field is separated from the photon\ndegrees of freedom by a time-dependent unitary transformation of both, the\ndynamical variables and the nonequilibrium statistical operator. Therefore even\nin the case of strong external fields a perturbative expansion in orders of the\nfine structure constant for the correlation functions as well as the\nstatistical operator is applicable. A general scheme for deriving kinetic\nequations in the hyperplane formalism is presented.",
