The Polaron at Strong Coupling

Mathematical Physics 2021-03-02 v3 math.MP

Abstract

We review old and new results on the Fr\"ohlich polaron model. The discussion includes the validity of the (classical) Pekar approximation in the strong coupling limit, quantum corrections to this limit, as well as the divergence of the effective polaron mass.
