Derivation of an effective evolution equation for a strongly coupled polaron (1505.03059v1)
Published 12 May 2015 in math-ph, math.AP, and math.MP
Abstract: Fr\"{o}hlich's polaron Hamiltonian describes an electron coupled to the quantized phonon field of an ionic crystal. We show that in the strong coupling limit the dynamics of the polaron is approximated by an effective non-linear partial differential equation due to Landau and Pekar, in which the phonon field is treated as a classical field.
