Problem: Critical Temperature in Mean Field Approximation

    In the mean field approximation an electron system with an attractive interaction (U;SPMlt;0) becomes unstable at low temperatures. The critical temperature tex2html_wrap_inline7057 is defined by the condition tex2html_wrap_inline7059 , where tex2html_wrap_inline6955 is the susceptibility. Calculate tex2html_wrap_inline7057 in the weak coupling limit, tex2html_wrap_inline7065 . Show that tex2html_wrap_inline7067 , where g is the density of states at the Fermi level and tex2html_wrap_inline5403 is a constant of the order of 1.
