Abstract
The suppression of the mean field temperature of the superconducting transi tion, Tc, in homogeneous amorphous wires is studied. We develop a theory th at gives T-c in situations when the dynamically enhanced Coulomb repulsion competes with the contact attraction. The theory accurately describes recen t experiments on T-c suppression in superconducting wires, after a procedur e that minimizes the role of nonuniversal mechanisms influencing T-c is app lied.
