The virial theorem for the translation-invariant theory of a polaron [3] is discussed. It is shown that, in [3], Tulub made a nonoptimal choice of variational parameters in the strong-coupling limit, which led to the violation of the virial…
We study the motion of a heavy impurity immersed in a weakly interacting BEC using the Gross-Pitaevskii equation (GPe). We construct a perturbative solution to the GPe in powers of impurity velocity in the case when the boson-impurity…
We show that the effective mass of the Fr\"ohlich Polaron is bounded below by $c\alpha^{2/5}$ for some constant $c>0$ and for all coupling constants $\alpha$. The proof uses the point process representation of the path measure of the…
