We consider the Pekar functional on a ball in R^3. We prove uniqueness of minimizers, and a quadratic lower bound in terms of the distance to the minimizer. The latter follows from non-degeneracy of the Hessian at the minimum.
We consider a Fr\"ohlich polaron bound in a symmetric Mexican hat-type potential. The ground state is unique and therefore invariant under rotations. However, we show that the minimizers of the corresponding Pekar problem are nonradial.…

We study the uniqueness and the radial symmetry of minimizers on a Pohozaev-Nehari manifold to the Schr\"{o}dinger Poisson equation with a general nonlinearity $f(u)$. Particularly, we allow that $f$ is $L^2$ supercritical. The main result…

In this paper we characterise the minimisers of a one-parameter family of nonlocal and anisotropic energies $I_\alpha$ defined on probability measures in $\R^n$, with $n\geq 3$. The energy $I_\alpha$ consists of a purely nonlocal term of…
In this paper we consider nonlocal energies defined on probability measures in the plane, given by a convolution interaction term plus a quadratic confinement. The interaction kernel is $-\log|z|+\alpha\, x^2/|z|^2, \; z=x+iy,$ with $-1 <…
We consider the one-dimensional Froehlich polaron localized in a symmetric decreasing electric potential. It is known that the non-linear Pekar functional corresponding to our model admits a unique minimizer. In the strong-coupling limit,…
We study extremal functions for a family of Poincar\'e-Sobolev-type inequalities. These functions minimize, for subcritical or critical $p\geq 2$, the quotient ${\|\nabla u\|_2}/{\|u\|_p}$ among all $u \in H^1(B)\setminus\{0\}$ with…

First, this paper proves the existence of a minimizer for the Pekar functional including a constant magnetic field and possibly some additional local fields that are energy reducing. Second, the existence of the aforementioned minimizer is…
This paper is concerned with a study of the classical isoperimetric problem modified by an addition of a non-local repulsive term. We characterize existence, non-existence and radial symmetry of the minimizers as a function of mass in the…
We consider the dynamics of the mean-field polaron in the weak-coupling limit of vanishing electron-phonon interaction, $\varepsilon \to 0$. This is a singular limit formally leading to a Schr\"odinger--Poisson system that is equivalent to…
In this paper we extend the homogenization results obtained in (G. Allaire, A. Mikeli\'c, A. Piatnitski, J. Math. Phys. 51 (2010), 123103) for a system of partial differential equations describing the transport of a N-component electrolyte…
