29. This is the basic assumption of Holstein's famous molecular crystal model [T. Holstein, Ann. Phys. (N.Y.) APNYA6 0003-4916 10.1016/0003-4916(59)90002-8 8, 325 (1959)]. Recall that in the case of larger molecules (e.g., quantum dots and deformable molecular transistors) the "site" index i denotes the state of the whole "entity" that couples to the vibronic mode. Importantly, although the Holstein EP interaction is local and the bare phonon frequency is dispersionless, the phonons may acquire a momentum dependence due to their coupling to the electrons.
