Abstract: We consider a many-body system of fermionic atoms interacting via a local pair potential and subject to an external potential within the framework of BCS theory. We measure the free energy of the whole sample with respect to the free energy of a reference state which allows us to define a BCS functional with boundary conditions at infinity. Our main result is a lower bound for this energy functional in terms of expressions that typically appear in Ginzburg-Landau functionals.
