Symmetry-protected intraband exciton-phonon scattering and its breakdown by mass asymmetry

The coupling of excitons to lattice vibrations is typically treated via phenomenological models that artificially separate long-range Fr\"ohlich and short-range Holstein interactions. Recent analytical work has established that, in the delocalized limit, Fr\"ohlich scattering is suppressed by electron--hole interferenc...
