We extend our study of the large- expansion of general nonequilibrium many-body systems with matrix degrees of freedom , and its dual description as a sum over surface topologies in a dual string theory, to the Keldysh-rotated version of the Schwinger-Keldysh formalism. The Keldysh rotation trades the original fields —defined as the values of on the forward and backward segments of the closed time contour—for their linear combinations and , known as the “classical” and “quantum” fields. First we develop a novel “signpost” notation for nonequilibrium Feynman diagrams in the Keldysh-rotated form, which simplifies the analysis considerably. Before the Keldysh rotation, each world-sheet surface in the dual string theory expansion was found to exhibit a triple decomposition into the parts corresponding to the forward and backward segments of the closed time contour, and which corresponds to the instant in time where the two segments meet. After the Keldysh rotation, we find that the world-sheet surface of the dual string theory undergoes a very different natural decomposition: consists of a “classical” part and a “quantum embellishment” part . We show that both parts of carry their own independent genus expansion. The nonequilibrium sum over world-sheet topologies is naturally refined into a sum over the double decomposition of each into its classical and quantum part. We apply this picture to the classical limits of the quantum nonequilibrium system (with or without interactions with a thermal bath), and find that in these limits, the dual string perturbation theory expansion reduces to its appropriately defined classical limit.
