Abstract
A simple approach to the many-polaron problem for both weak and intermediate electron-phonon coupling and valid for densities much smaller than those typical of metals is presented. Within the model, the collective excitation spectrum is studied pointing out the presence of charge density wave instabilities in a finite range of the electron densities. Finally, preliminary results on the optical absorption of an interacting large polaron gas are presented.
