Recent conceptual advances in the theory of physics of highly excited semiconductors are based on two formalisms, the real-time non-equilibrium Green's function techniques and the coherently controlled truncation of the many-particle problems. These approaches apply to completely different but complementary experimental conditions. We present a novel many-particle theory, which contains both of these methods as limiting cases. As a first example of its application, we investigate four-particle correlations in a strong magnetic field including dephasing resulting from the growth of incoherent one-particle distribution functions. Our results are the first numerical rigorous solutions of the four-particle problem in a semiconductor. They are in excellent agreement with experimental data.
