Description

In this work, we propose a systematic method to obtain the effective field theory of the quantum dissipative systems which nonlinearly realize symmetries. We focus on the high temperature or Brownian limit, in which the effective action of the dissipative dynamics is localized in time. We first introduce a microscopic model at the linear response level, which shows how the dissipative dynamics on Lie group emerges effectively through the reduced dynamics of a system interacting with a thermal bath. The model gives a systematic method to give the Langevin equation which is covariant with respect to the symmetries of the system. In addition, the model shows a systematic way to go beyond the Gaussian white noise and the interaction between the noise and dissipation. Then, using the dynamical KMS symmetry, without any reference to the microscopic structure of the bath, we obtain the most general effective action of the nonlinearly realized dissipative dynamics at high temperature. The universal dissipative coefficients are larger than the case of the linear response approximation. Then, we focus on the case of Ohmic friction where the corresponding dissipative coefficients are more restricted; we suggest an alternative model, the bulk model, to describe any Ohmic dissipative system at high temperature. The Bulk model provides a geometrical picture for the noise in the case of Ohmic friction.
