Collective coordinates as open systems. (I). Existence conditions for frictional hamiltonians

We examine the time evolution of an object coupled to a heat reservoir at zero temperature in the framework of general master and kinetic equations for open systems. As we specialize to the particular set of solutions that represents pure states, we are led to a frictional Schrödinger equation that...
