We study the Fr\"ohlich polaron model in $\mathbb{R}^3$, and prove a lower bound on its ground state energy as a function of the total momentum. The bound is asymptotically sharp at large coupling. In combination with a corresponding upper…

The Holstein Molecular Crystal Model is investigated by a strong coupling perturbative method which, unlike the standard Lang-Firsov approach, accounts for retardation effects due to the spreading of the polaron size. The effective mass is…
Polaron binding energy and effective mass are calculated for semiconductors with wurtzite crystalline structure from the first order electron-phonon corrections to the self-energy. A recently introduced Frohlich-like electron-phonon…
