Title: An Invitation to Path Measure Methods for Polaron Models
Abstract: This talk gives an introduction to the connection between the Hamiltonian formulation of quantum mechanics and its probabilistic counterpart. We first discuss this in terms of Feynman-Kac formulas for Schrödinger operators together with some applications. Then, we move to their analogues for polaron models, i.e., models of quantum particles linearly coupled to a quantum field. We also sketch how the named applications extend to the polaron, e.g., when studying ground states or the effective mass.
