Qualitative Properties of Ground States for the Stationary Magnetopolaron with a Weak Magnetic Field

Abstract

We investigate ground states of the stationary magnetopolaron in ${\mathbb{R}}^3$ with a constant magnetic field. When the strength $|b|$ of the magnetic field is sufficiently small, we prove the uniqueness and nondegeneracy of ground states, up to magnetic translations and phase shifts. Applying the uniqueness result, we further derive rigorously the symmetry and monotonicity of ground states for sufficiently small $|b|>0$. The second-order asymptotic expansion of the ground state energy is also derived as $b\to 0$.
