23. We introduce the notation (formula presented) for the (formula presented)-dependent BCS gap. This should not be confused with (formula presented) which is the (formula presented) component of the fluctuating amplitude (formula presented) of the order parameter.
24. This result and the Eqs. (8) and (9) are formally equivalent to the derivation of Ref. 14 in the case of a s-wave model originally introduced by Nozières and Schmitt-Rink (Ref. 15).

26. As it is customary, our chemical potential (formula presented) includes the Hartree shift (formula presented), where (formula presented) is the true chemical potential.
