A large polaron is a quasiparticle that consists of a nearly free electron interacting with the phonons of a material, whose lattice parameters are much smaller than the polaron scale. The electron-phonon interaction also leads to an…
We investigate the interaction of strongly correlated electrons with phonons in the frame of the Hubbard-Holstein model. The electron-phonon interaction is considered to be strong and is an important parameter of the model besides the…
We consider mean-field interactions corresponding to Gibbs measures on interacting Brownian paths in three dimensions. The interaction is self-attractive and is given by a singular Coulomb potential. The logarithmic asymptotics of the…
We prove that there is a constant $\overline C\in (0,\infty)$ such that the effective mass $m(\alpha)$ of the Fr\"ohlich Polaron satisfies $m(\alpha) \geq \overline C \alpha^4$, which is sharp according to a long-standing prediction of…
Polarons with different types of electron-phonon coupling have fundamentally different properties. When the dominant interaction is between the electron density and lattice displacement, the momentum of the ground state does not change and…
We consider the Fr\"ohlich Hamiltonian in a mean-field limit where many bosonic particles weakly couple to the quantized phonon field. For large particle number and suitably small coupling, we show that the dynamics of the system is…

The polaron features for long-range electron-phonon interaction are investigated by extending a variational approach previously proposed for the study of systems with local coupling. The ground-state spectral weight, the average kinetic…
The polaron has been of interest in condensed matter theory and field theory for about half a century, especially the limit of large coupling constant. It was not until 1983, however, that a proof of the asymptotic formula for the ground…

Polarons, that is, charge carriers correlated with lattice deformations, are ubiquitous quasiparticles in semiconductors, and play an important role in electrical conductivity. To date most theoretical studies of so-called large polarons,…
