We consider mean‐field interactions corresponding to Gibbs measures on interacting Brownian paths in three dimensions. The interaction is self‐attractive and is given by a singular Coulomb potential. The logarithmic asymptotics of the partition function for this model were identified in the 1980s by Donsker and Varadhan in terms of the Pekar variational formula, which coincides with the behavior of the partition function of the polaron problem under strong coupling. Based on this, in 1986 Spohn made a heuristic observation that the strong coupling behavior of the polaron path measure, on certain time scales, should resemble a process, named as the Pekar process, whose distribution could somehow be guessed from the limiting asymptotic behavior of the mean‐field measures under interest, whose rigorous analysis remained open. The present paper is devoted to a precise analysis of these mean‐field path measures and convergence of the normalized occupation measures towards an explicit mixture of the maximizers of the Pekar variational problem. This leads to a rigorous construction of the aforementioned Pekar process and hence is a contribution to the understanding of the “mean‐field approximation” of the polaron problem on the level of path measures. The method of our proof is based on the compact large deviation theory developed by Mukherjee and Varadhan in 2016; its extension to the uniform strong metric for the singular Coulomb interaction was carried out by König and Mukherjee in 2015, as well as an idea inspired by a partial path exchange argument appearing in 1997 in work by Bolthausen and Schmock.© 2017 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.
