We start with the Spin-Boson Model including one bosonic mode. The Flow Equation results for the ground-state energy and for the transformation of the Pauli spin matrices are compared with the numerically exact solution. For the Spin-Boson Model with an arbitrary number of bosonic modes and explicitly broken reflection symmetry, general Flow Equations are set up using a truncation scheme which involves an l-dependent normal ordering procedure. Furthermore, observations on universal asymptotic behaviour are discussed. The remaining chapter investigates quantum Brownian motion in a periodic potential with broken reflection symmetry - employing the previous procedures. In this context we also include results for the Tomonaga-Luttinger Model with impurity. abstract_translated_lang: eng class_scheme: pacs class_labels: 74.50.+r, 05.40.Jc, 05.30.-d, 05.10.Cc date: 2002 date_type: published id_scheme: DOI id_number: 10.11588/heidok.00001934 ppn_swb: 1643272497 own_urn: urn:nbn:de:bsz:16-opus-19345 date_accepted: 2002-02-20 advisor: HASH(0x564e1c586768) language: eng bibsort: STAUBERTOBDISSIPATIV2002 full_text_status: public citation: Stauber, Tobias (2002) Dissipative Quantum Systems and Flow Equations.
