In the standard theory of superconductivity, the origin of superconductivity is the electron-pairing. The induced current by a magnetic field is calculated by the linear response to the vector potential, and the supercurrent is identified…

Momentum and energy conservation are fundamental tenets of physics, that valid physical theories have to satisfy. In the reversible transformation between superconducting and normal phases in the presence of a magnetic field, the mechanical…
We introduce and solve a model of interacting electrons and phonons that is a natural generalization of the Sachdev-Ye-Kitaev-model and that becomes superconducting at low temperatures. In the normal state two Non-Fermi liquid fixed points…

With a generic model for the electron-phonon spectral density, two simple expressions are derived to estimate the transition temperature and gap-to-temperature ratio in conventional superconductors. They entail that on average the numerical…
For a superconductor to be able to receive an external magnetic field, there must be a vacant energy state in the superconductor to receive the energy associated with the field. For a small range of energies near that of the critical…

The BCS results for the superconducting gap $\Delta$ and $T_C$ are obtained from a one-particle model. Superconductivity appears when the electronic energy gains of the band structure surpass the energy needed for atomic vibrations or…
In the standard theory of superconductivity a quasiparticle excitation changes the energy of the system by the quasiparticle energy. But the number of excitations determine also the gap energy which further determines the energy of the…

We study the critical temperature of a superconductive material in a weak external electric potential via a linear approximation of the BCS functional. We reproduce a similar result as in [Frank, Hainzl, Seiringer, Solovej, 2016] using the…

This is the first book on the subject of room-temperature superconductivity. The main purpose of the book is twofold. First, to show that, under suitable conditions, superconductivity can occur above room temperature. Secondly, to present…
