Abstract: We study a spatial birth-and-death process on the phase space of locally finite configurations Gamma+imesGamma over mathbbRd. Dynamics is described by an non-equilibrium evolution of states obtained from the Fokker-Planck equation and associated with the Markov operator L+(gamma)+frac1varepsilonL, varepsilon>0. Here L describes the environment process on Gamma and L+(gamma) describes the system process on Gamma+, where gamma indicates that the corresponding birth-and-death rates depend on another locally finite configuration gammainGamma. We prove that, for a certain class of birth-and-death rates, the corresponding Fokker-Planck equation is well-posed, i.e. there exists a unique evolution of states mutvarepsilon on Gamma+imesGamma. Moreover, we give a sufficient condition such that the environment is ergodic with exponential rate. Let mumathrminv be the invariant measure for the environment process on Gamma. In the main part of this work we establish the stochastic averaging principle, i.e. we prove that the marginal of mutvarepsilon onto Gamma+ converges weakly to an evolution of states on Gamma+ associated with the averaged Markov birth-and-death operator overlineL=intGammaL+(gamma)dmumathrminv(gamma).
