Exact weak-coupling radius of the Holstein polaron in one, two, and three dimensions

Abstract The electron-phonon correlation function characterizing the shape of the Holstein polaron in D dimensions is computed exactly to leading order in the electron-phonon coupling constant for both isotropic and arbitrarily anisotropic cases, allowing the width of the polaron to be characterized along arbitrary directions.
