The no-binding regime of the Pauli-Fierz model

Abstract: The Pauli-Fierz model

H (a l p h a)

in nonrelativistic quantum electrodynamics is considered. The external potential

V

is sufficiently shallow and the dipole approximation is assumed. It is proven that there exist constants

0 < a l p h a_{-} < a l p h a_{+}

such that

H (a l p h a)

has no ground state for

| a l p h a | < a l p h a_{-}

, which complements an earlier result stating that there is a ground state for

| a l p h a | > a l p h a_{+}

. We develop a suitable extension of the Birman-Schwinger argument. Moreover for any given

d e l t a > 0

examples of potentials

V

are provided such that

a l p h a_{+} - a l p h a_{-} < d e l t a

.
