Critical temperature of the superfluid transition in Fermi-system at an arbitrary pair potential

Abstract

A method for calculation of the critical temperature of transition of a many-particle Fermi system into a superfluid or a superconducting state at an arbitrary pair potential of the interparticle interaction is proposed. An original homogeneous integral equation, that determines the critical temperature, is transformed into a homogeneous integral equation with a symmetric kernel that enables application of a general theory of integral equations for calculation. Examples are given of calculation of the superconducting transition critical temperature for the BCS potential with the Coulomb repulsion and the critical temperature of the superfluid transition of liquid helium-3 into $p$-wave pairing state for the Morse potential.
