Jaksic V., Pillet C.-A. On a Model for Quantum Friction II. Fermi's Golden Rule and Dynamics at Positive Temperature. (276K, postscript) ABSTRACT. We investigate the dynamics of an N-level system linearly coupled to a field of mass-less bosons at positive temperature. Using complex deformation techniques, we develop time-dependent perturbation theory and study spectral properties of the total Hamiltonian. We also calculate the lifetime of resonances to second order in the coupling.
