Notational difference between open quantum system textbooks.

 Ulrich weiss defines ohmic spectral density as

Jweiss(ω)=Mγwω

While Breuer defines it as

Jbr02(ω)=M2γbr02πω

The point to be notes is, πJbr02(ω)=Jweiss(ω), so, the missing factor of 1π in Weiss's book can be seen hanging outside in its equations. Also, needless to say, γw=2γbr02.
