Abstract
AbstractWe consider the regularized Landau-Pekar equations with positive speed of sound and prove the existence of subsonic traveling waves. We provide a definition of the effective mass for the regularized Landau-Pekar equations based on the energy-velocity expansion of subsonic traveling waves. Moreover we show that this definition of the effective mass agrees with the definition based on an energy-momentum expansion of low energy states.
