L.N. Cooper considered the scattering of two particles which have an attractive interaction in the presence of a Fermi sea (restricting the possible momenta where the particles can scatter). He showed that even for arbitrarily small interactions, pairs will be formed in the system. Instability of the Fermi sea: pair formation happens for any non-zero, attractive interaction.

we used the method suggested by Khodel where the original gap equation is replaced by a coupled set of equations for the dimensionless gap function χ(p) defjned by Δ(p) = ΔF χ(p) and a non-linear algebraic equation for the gap magnitude ΔF = Δ(pF) at the Fermi surface.

One can use RG transformations to evolve to lower Λ while preserving the truncation error of the original Hamiltonian ➩ eliminate coupling between high- and low-momenta components (kF ≤ 2 fm−1)

The SRG is based on a continuous sequence of unitary transformations that suppress off- diagonal matrix elements, driving the Hamiltonian towards a band-diagonal form.
