| contents | The zero-temperature physics of interacting quantum dots attached to superconducting leads is now well understood. The overall qualitative picture is obtained from the static mean-field approximation. The situation drastically changes at non-zero temperatures. No reliable solutions apart from numerical simulations exist there. We show that any static mean-field approximation fails at non-zero temperatures since magnetic fluctuations induce dynamical corrections that lead to broadening of the in-gap state energies to energy bands. Spin-symmetric equilibrium state at non-zero temperatures is unstable with respect to magnetic fluctuations and the zero magnetic field can be reached only as a weak limit of the spin-polarized solution like in a magnetically ordered phase. |
