DESCRIPTION:Speaker: Steffen Polzer\nhosted by Robert Seiringer\nAbstract: 
 The Fröhlich Polaron describes the slow movement of an electron in a pola
 r crystal. A long open problem is the asymptotics of the effective mass of
  the electron as the coupling parameter $\\alpha$ tends to infinity. While
  it has been conjectured by Landau and Pekar that the effective mass grows
  with the fourth power of the coupling parameter\, so far it had only been
  shown by Lieb and Seiringer that the effective mass diverges in the stron
 g coupling limit. I will present recent work where we give a first quantit
 ative lower bound on the effective mass of the Polaron and show that the d
 ivergence is at least as fast as $\\alpha^{2/5}$ times some constant. For 
 the proof we apply the representation of the path measure of the Polaron i
 n terms of random collections of intervals that has recently been introduc
 ed by Mukherjee and Varadhan. Joint work with Volker Betz.
