5. 1 corresponds to spin-1 Cooper pairs. Lengthy calculations show that the latter quantity is zero, at least when the Higgs boson exchange is reduced to a contact interaction.
6. We can safely neglect the contribution of antiparticles because pairing is dominated by the attractive interaction between particles very near the Fermi surface.
