Extended weak coupling limit for Friedrichs Hamiltonians

Abstract: We study a class of self-adjoint operators defined on the direct sum of two Hilbert spaces: a finite dimensional one called sometimes a ``small subsystem and an infinite dimensional one -- a ``reservoir. The operator, which we call a ``Friedrichs Hamiltonian, has a small coupling constant in front of its off-diagonal term. It is well known that under some conditions in the weak coupling limit the appropriately rescaled evolution in the interaction picture converges to a contractive semigroup when restricted to the subsystem. We show that in this model, the properly renormalized and rescaled evolution converges on the whole space to a new unitary evolution, which is a dilation of the above mentioned semigroup. Similar results have been studied before cite{AFL} in more complicated models and they are usually referred to as "stochastic Limit".
