Abstract

The one-band tight-binding model is used to calculate the effective interaction between electrons in superconductors. Two theorems are proved. One is that the effective interaction is always repulsive when including only electron-electron interactions. The second theorem relates to the electron-phonon interaction. The interaction due to charge fluctuations can become attractive when the effective potential changes sign.
