Abstract
The classic Cooper electron-pair problem is generalized via a Fermi sea having two concentric surfaces, rather than the familiar sphere of a perfect (interactionless) fermion gas. Substantially tighter-bound pairs are obtained for fixed phonon coupling with the BCS model interaction, no matter how weak. This will admit increased transition temperatures for superconductivity in the BCS theory and beyond, and suggests that designing materials having multiply-connected Fermi surfaces with maximal interior area will yield larger Tc values.
