Symmetry of Bipolaron Bound States for Small Coulomb Repulsion

Abstract: Abstract:We consider the bipolaron in the Pekar-Tomasevich approximation and address the question whether the ground state is spherically symmetric or not. Numerical analysis has, so far, not completely settled the question. Our contribution is to prove rigorously that the ground state remains spherical for small values of the electron-electron Coulomb repulsion.

“…These measures describe the motion of two electrons coupled to an ionic crystal, and unlike the case of a single polaron, the interaction in (1.9) carries both attractive (contributions coming from the first term) and repulsive (the Coulomb force appearing in the second term) effects. Again for strong coupling regime, the behavior of the partition function lim λ→0 lim t→∞ Z λ,u,t = E(u) is expressed by the Pekar-Thomasevich energy functional ( [27], [12]), and E(u) determines, depending on the value of u, if in the lowest energy states two electrons form a bound pair, or they split into two well-separated polarons. Again questions concerning the behavior of the actual path measures P ⊗ λ,u,t remain widely open.…”
