It is described by the Hamiltonian of H. Fr\\\"ohlich. In this paper, the Fr\\\"ohlich Hamiltonian is investigated from a viewpoint of the self-dual cone analysis proposed in Miyao (2011). This point of view clarifies the monotonicity of polaron energy, i.e., denoting the lowest energy of the Fr\\\"ohlich Hamiltonian with the ultraviolet cutoff $\\Lambda$ by $E_{\\Lambda}$, we prove $E_{\\Lambda}>E_{\\Lambda'}$ for $\\Lambda<\\Lambda'$.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v2", "updated": "2013-09-03T10:15:05.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "keywords": [ "polaron energy", "monotonicity", "self-dual cone analysis", "hamiltonian", "lowest energy" ], "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 20, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable", "adsabs": "2012arXiv1211.0344M" } } }
