For illustration lets assume it couples to density, then This will produce a density fluctuation Eigenstate of Htot Eigenstate of Hsystem If Hext is weak it is possible to show that Density-density correlation function ΠR is the Fourier transform of DR and it is called the polarization function or the generalized susceptibility.
