The quantum mechanical dynamics of a particle coupled to a heat bath is treated by
functional integral methods and a generalization of the Feynman-Vernon influence
functional is derived. The extended theory describes the time evolution of nonfactorizing
initial states and of equilibrium correlation functions. The theory is illuminated through
exactly solvable models.
