Abstract

We consider the critical temperature for superconductivity, defined via the linear BCS equation. We prove that at weak coupling the critical temperature for a sample confined to a quadrant in two dimensions is strictly larger than the one for a half-space, which in turn is strictly larger than the one for R2\mathbb{R}^2. Furthermore, we prove that the relative difference of the critical temperatures vanishes in the weak coupling limit.
