46. Because we have used a low frequency expansion, the estimate of the amplitude mode frequency, while correctly proportional to |Δ|, is numerically inaccurate: the exact value for a gapless BCS theory is 2|Δ| [see P. B. Littlewood and C. M. Varma, Phys. Rev. B 26 4883 (1982)]. The gapless phase mode is correctly-determined, however.
