An important problem in this context is the validity of a central limit theorem in infinite volume. We show both the existence of the relevant infinite volume limits and a functional central limit theorem in a generality that includes the Fr\\\"ohlich polaron for all coupling constants. The proofs are based on an extension of a novel method by Mukherjee and Varadhan.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v1", "updated": "2021-06-11T15:04:41.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "subjects": [ "60F17", "60G55", "60K05", "81S40" ], "keywords": [ "functional central limit theorem", "polaron path measures", "relevant infinite volume limits", "feynman-kac formula", "translation invariant" ], "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 39, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable" } } }
