Abstract: In the [BCS] paper the theory of superconductivity was developed for the BCS model, in which the (instantaneous) interaction is only between fermions of opposite momentum and spin. Such model was analyzed by variational methods, finding that a superconducting behavior is energetically favorable. Subsequently it was claimed that in the thermodynamic limit the BCS model is equivalent to the (exactly solvable) quadratic mean field BCS model; a rigorous proof of this claim is however still lacking. In this paper we consider the BCS model with a finite range temporal interaction, and we prove rigorously its equivalence with the mean field BCS model in the thermodinamic limit if the range is long enough, by a (uniformly convergent) perturbation expansion about mean field theory.

Review text

It is studied an interacting fermionic model in which the Cooper pairs are related through a finite range time dependent interaction. For this model the author proves the mass generation and the equivalence with the BCS (Bardeen-Cooper-Schieffer) mean field model in the thermodynamic limit. The proof of this statement is based on a perturbative expansion about mean field theory which is convergent if the range of the interaction is long enough and vanishing in the thermodynamic limit.
