In the one-dimensional case with point interactions, we prove that the critical temperature is strictly larger than the bulk value, at least at weak coupling. In particular, the Cooper-pair wave function localizes near the boundary, an effect that cannot be modeled by effective Neumann boundary conditions on the order parameter as often imposed in Ginzburg–Landau theory. We also show that the relative shift in critical temperature vanishes if the coupling constant either goes to zero or to infinity.","lang":"eng"}],"publisher":"EMS Press","language":[{"iso":"eng"}],"intvolume":"        12","publication_status":"published","year":"2023","article_processing_charge":"No","file":[{"file_id":"13208","success":1,"date_updated":"2023-07-11T08:19:15Z","checksum":"5501da33be010b5c81440438287584d5","creator":"alisjak","file_name":"2023_EMS_Hainzl.pdf","relation":"main_file","date_created":"2023-07-11T08:19:15Z","content_type":"application/pdf","access_level":"open_access","file_size":304619}],"user_id":"4359f0d1-fa6c-11eb-b949-802e58b17ae8","date_published":"2023-05-18T00:00:00Z","page":"1507–1540","type":"journal_article","ec_funded":1,"isi":1,"oa":1},{"author":[{"full_name":"Seiringer, Robert","id":"4AFD0470-F248-11E8-B48F-1D18A9856A87","last_name":"Seiringer","orcid":"0000-0002-6781-0521","first_name":"Robert"}],"date_updated":"2025-09-09T13:40:33Z","title":"Absence of excited eigenvalues for Fröhlich type polaron models at weak coupling","file_date_updated":"2023-12-11T12:03:12Z","article_type":"original","publication_identifier":{"eissn":["1664-0403"],"issn":["1664-039X"]},"day":"25","arxiv":1,"DOAJ_listed":"1","OA_place":"publisher","external_id":{"arxiv":["2210.17123"],"isi":["001127467700008"]},"_id":"14662","quality_controlled":"1","oa_version":"Published Version","department":[{"_id":"RoSe"}],"scopus_import":"1","volume":13,"citation":{"ista":"Seiringer R. 2023.
