Description

We review the development of the microscopic BCS theory of superconductivity and the exact solution of the pairing Hamiltonian given by Richardson in 1963. We then introduce the generalized Richardson-Gaudin exactly-solvable pairing models for SU(2) (pairing between like particles), SO(5) (T=1 pairing) and SO(8) (T=0,1 pairing) algebras. (author)
