We find that all thermodynamic quantities are still periodic in Φ with a period Φo = hc/e. In both cases, weak- and strong-coupling, effective mass of the electrons is increased and amplitude of persistent current is suppressed. In the latter case the amplitude decreases exponentially as a function of the electron-phonon coupling constant.Ground state wave functionPersistent currentPolaronic effectMesoscopic ringPhonon operatorBook Chapter10.1007/978-94-011-4327-1_189789401143271
