The Holstein model often serves as an archetype for electron-phonon interactions and polaron formation in solids. However, precise descriptions of the Holstein polaron are difficult when the phonon frequency is small and the electron-phonon…
The formalism of Kohn and Sham uses a specific (model) hamiltonian which highly simplifies the many-electron problem to that of noninteracting fermions. The theorem of Hohenberg and Kohn tells us that, for a given ground state density, this…
The evolution of the properties of a finite density electronic system as the electron-phonon coupling is increased are investigated in the Holstein model using the Dynamical Mean-Field Theory (DMFT). We compare the spinless fermion case, in…
We consider a Hamiltonian with cutoffs describing the weak decay of spin one massive bosons into the full family of leptons. The Hamiltonian is a self-adjoint operator in an appropriate Fock space with a unique ground state. We prove a…

We present a unified and nonperturbative method for calculating spectral and transport properties of Hamiltonians with simultaneous Holstein (diagonal) and Peierls (off-diagonal) electron-phonon coupling. Our approach is motivated by the…

This work addresses the one-dimensional problem of Bloch electrons when they are rapidly driven by a homogeneous time-periodic light and linearly coupled to vibrational modes. Starting from a generic time-periodic electron-phonon…
Within the time-dependent Gutzwiller approximation (TDGA) applied to Holstein- and SSH-Hubbard models we study the influence of electron correlations on the phonon self-energy. For the local Holstein coupling we find that the phonon…

Oscillatory instabilities in Hamiltonian anharmonic lattices are known to appear through Hamiltonian Hopf bifurcations of certain time-periodic solutions of multibreather type. Here, we analyze the basic mechanisms for this scenario by…
We carefully study how the fermion-fermion interactions affect the low-energy states of a two-dimensional spin-$1/2$ fermionic system on the kagom\'{e} lattice with a quadratic band crossing point. With the help of the renormalization group…
For systems of $N$ charged fermions (e.g. electrons) interacting with longitudinal optical quantized lattice vibrations of a polar crystal we derive upper and lower bounds on the minimal energy within the model of H. Fr\"ohlich. The only…
We consider the problem of Bosonic particles interacting repulsively in a strong magnetic field at the filling factor $\nu =1.$ We project the system in the Lowest Landau Level and map the dynamics into an interacting Fermion system. We…
Conformal field theory has turned out to be a powerful tool to derive interesting lattice models with analytical ground states. Here, we investigate a class of critical, one-dimensional lattice models of fermions and hardcore bosons related…
A mixture of heavy atoms in a Mott state and light spin-1/2 fermionic atoms is studied in an optical lattice. Inelastic scattering processes between both atomic species excite the heavy atoms and renormalize the tunneling rate as well as…
An introduction is given to the many-body coherent potential approximation (CPA) for the double-exchange (DE) model and the Holstein-DE model, the latter including coupling of the electrons to local phonons as well as to local spins. It is…
We study the strong coupling limit of the 2-flavor lattice Schwinger model in the Hamiltonian formalism using staggered fermions. We show that the problem of finding the low-lying states is equivalent to solving the Heisenberg…
