We investigate the BCS critical temperature $T_c$ in the high-density limit and derive an asymptotic formula, which strongly depends on the behavior of the interaction potential $V$ on the Fermi-surface. Our results include a rigorous…

We show that the energy gap for the BCS gap equation is $ \Xi = \mu \left( 8 e^{-2} + o(1)\right) \exp\left( \frac{\pi}{2\sqrt{\mu} a}\right) $ in the low density limit $\mu \to 0$. Together with the similar result for the critical…

We derive upper and lower bounds on the critical temperature $T_c$ and the energy gap $\Xi$ (at zero temperature) for the BCS gap equation, describing spin 1/2 fermions interacting via a local two-body interaction potential $\lambda V(x)$.…

It is a remarkable property of BCS theory that the ratio of the energy gap at zero temperature $\Xi$ and the critical temperature $T_c$ is (approximately) given by a universal constant, independent of the microscopic details of the…

We consider the BCS energy gap $\Xi(T)$ (essentially given by $\Xi(T) \approx \Delta(T, \sqrt\mu)$, the BCS order parameter) at all temperatures $0 \le T \le T_c$ up to the critical one, $T_c$, and show that, in the limit of weak coupling,…

We prove that the critical temperature for the BCS gap equation is given by $T_c = \mu (8/\pi e^{\gamma -2} + o(1)) e^{\pi/(2\sqrt \mu a)}$ in the low density limit $\mu\to 0$. The formula holds for a suitable class of interaction…
