Abstract
In the framework of event-enhanced quantum theory the dynamical equation for the reduced density matrix of a quantum system interacting with a continuous classical system is derived. The asymptotic behavior of the corresponding dynamical semigroup is discussed. The example of a quantum–classical coupling on Lobatchevski space is presented.
