Abstract: This paper is devoted to the application of the projection methods of the nonrelativistic quantum theory of scattering (the method of Petrov-Bubnov-Galerkin (PBG) and the Bubnov-Galerkin (BG) method) in the statistical theory of liquids. By means of the projection PBG method we have found a new family of equations both for the correlation functions and for the radial distribution function (RDF). In the generalized equation for the RDF we have obtained new terms which are linear and quadratic in the density and the latter are absent in all the previous theories. By means of the projection BG principle the approximate eigenfunctions of the Liouville operator in a liquid were obtained as a linear combination of the Kihara functions. It was shown that the spectrum of the collective excitations is determined by the complex Fourier transformation of the force acting on an arbitrary particle in a liquid.
