Spin correlations are considered now as the only possible source of dispersion of the polaronic band in ARPES spectra of cuprates. However, the same dispersion is observed experimentally for broad O 2p{\pi} band in ARPES spectra of cuprates [Phys. Rev. B 75, 075115 (2007)] although the O 2p{\pi} states do not experience any coupling to the low-energy spin degrees of freedom. The aim of the present report is exploring dispersion of the polaronic band in ARPES spectrum in the frames of Frohlich-Pekar polaron model where this band is calculated analytically [Phys. Rev. B 77, 165136 (2008)]. We improve the method by taking into account the momentum of the recoil and obtain new analytical expression for the photoelectron rate as function of binding energy and momentum. Calculated according to it polaronic band demonstrates dispersion and broadening being in good agreement with the experiment. The dispersion is caused by the momentum of the recoil and can be used to extract the polaron effective mass from the experimental ARPES spectra. We also supplement the Franck-Condon principle by indication that if the phonon field is in a coherent state then during rapid (photo) transition the average coordinates of the phonon field harmonics do not change, but their average momentums are changed due to the recoil momentum., Comment: 7 pages, 1 figure, in Russian
