Title:Proof of the Landau-Pekar Formula for the effective Mass of the Polaron at strong coupling
View PDFAbstract:We study the Fröhlich polaron in the regime of strong coupling and prove the asymptotically sharp lower bound on the effective mass $m_{\mathrm{eff}}(\alpha)\geq \alpha^4 m_{\mathrm{LP}}-C\alpha^{4-\epsilon}$, where $m_{\mathrm{LP}}$ is an explicit constant. Together with the corresponding upper bound, which has been verified recently in [5], we confirm the validity of the celebrated Landau-Pekar formula [12] from 1948 for the effective mass $\underset{\alpha\rightarrow \infty}{\lim}\alpha^{-4}m_{\mathrm{eff}}(\alpha)=m_{\mathrm{LP}}$ as conjectured by Spohn [25] in 1987.
