SUPERCONDUCTIVITY IN A NEW SUPERSYMMETRIC SCHEME

A new pairing theory for many-fermion systems is obtained via a framew ork related to the one recently introduced to describe Dirac particles in external potentials. It is shown that the standard Bogoliubov-Vala tin canonical transformation treatment of the quasi-particle BCS singl et pairing mechanism naturally falls within this framework, Straightfo rward generalizations in which the fermions can be ascribed nu compone nts (as for example two or more copper-oxide planes in a cuprate super conductor) could lead to enhanced gap energies and critical temperatur es.
