      The main result of the present paper establishes that the critical temperature \(T_c\) of the occurence of superconductivity is determined by the the first eigenvalue of the kernel function in the context of the Markowitz-Kadanoff model. The results developed in the present paper show that the determination of the critical temperature may be reduced to a singleton equation. The proofs rely on elementary monotonicity techniques.
