Renormalization group study of the 1d polaron problem
Abstract
We investigate the one-dimensional polaron problem and calculate the ground state energy and the effective mass. We use a real-time renormalization group method and compare our results with first and second order perturbation theory, with Feynman's variational principle and with the method of Lee, Low and Pines.
