The Peierls model describes independent electrons in a deformable one-dimensional finite or infinite chain of atoms. The atoms are treated as classical objects and the electrons are described by a simplified version of quantum mechanics. This leads to a system of coupled, discrete, nonlinear and nonlocal equations. I will present some mathematical questions on this model, some known rigorous results, and in particular a work in collaboration with Mauricio Garcia Arroyo.
