10. An exception to this statement is for the spin-boson problem in which the harmonic bath may be integrated out of the problem to give an influence functional. In this case, the centroid density of the spin variable may be studied analytically and related to the known rate constant in the adiabatic and nonadiabatic regimes, although not completely satisfactorily.
