A Bethe-Salpeter treatment of Cooper pairs (CPs) based on an ideal Fermi gas (IFG) "sea"' yields the familiar negative-energy, two-particle bound-state if two-hole CPs are ignored, but is meaningless otherwise as it gives purely-imaginary…
We study the continuum version of the two-gap BCS model in (3+1)D within the large-N approximation. We calculate the effective potential of the model which depends on two independent energy gaps $\sigma$ and $\Delta$, where $\sigma$…
