Zusammenfassung
In a system where a boson (e.g, a phonon) of finite frequency $ømega_0$ is
coupled to lattice fermions, two phenomena occur as the coupling is increased:
local fermion pairing via multiple boson exchanges
and polarization of the boson field. Within a path integral
formalism and a Dynamical Mean-Field approach, we introduce two
distribution functions which allow us to pinpoint the two effects.
When $ømega_0$ is smaller than the bandwidth $D$, pairing and polarization
occur for fairly similar couplings for all considered temperatures. When
$ømega_0 > D$, the two phenomena tend to coincide only for $T ømega_0$,
but are no longer tied for low temperatures so that a state of locally paired
particles without finite polarization is stabilized.
The method used can be extended to determine the metal to Mott-insulator crossover at finite temperature.
