Can Quantum Lattice Fluctuations Destroy the Peierls Broken Symmetry Ground State?

The study of bond alternation in one-dimensional electronic systems has had a long history. Theoretical work in the 1930s predicted the absence of bond alternation in the limit of infinitely long conjugated polymers; a result later contradicted by experimental investigations. When this issue was re-...
