    Abstract

    We use a novel approach to analyze the one-dimensional spinless Falicov-Kimball model. We derive a simple effective model for the occupation of the localized orbitals which clearly reveals the origin of the known ordering. Our study is extended to a quantum model with hybridization between the localized and itinerant states: We find a crossover between the well-known weak- and strong-coupling behaviors. The existence of electronic polarons at intermediate coupling is confirmed. A phase diagram is presented and discussed in detail.
