Abstract: Nelson's model describes the system of an electrically charged
quantum particle coupled to a Bose field. Under an infrared (IR)
cutoff condition it can be shown that the system has a unique
ground state. I will present a rigorous derivation of the
properties of this ground state (such as boson distribution,
average field and fluctuations, exponential localization of the
particle). Also, I will show that in 3D the model is IR singular
while for higher dimensions it is IR regular, and that by removing
the infrared cutoff the physical picture remains unchanged.
