The BCS Critical Temperature for Potentials with Negative Scattering Length

Mathematical Physics 2009-11-13 v2 math.MP

Abstract

We prove that the critical temperature for the BCS gap equation is given by Tc=μ(8/πeγ2+o(1))eπ/(2μa)T_c = \mu (8/\pi e^{\gamma -2} + o(1)) e^{\pi/(2\sqrt \mu a)} in the low density limit μ0\mu\to 0. The formula holds for a suitable class of interaction potentials with negative scattering length aa in the absence of bound states.
