Abstract
Nonlocal exchange contributions to the free energy of a weakly inhomog eneous many-fermion system at finite temperature are obtained to first order in the interparticle interaction. Explicit representations are given for the second-order gradient coefficient B(x)(n(r); T). These r esults apply for arbitrary velocity-independent interparticle interact ion and arbitrary temperature.
