contents Using the recent reformulation for the Eliashberg theory of superconductivity in terms of a classical interacting Bloch spin chain model, rigorous upper and lower bounds on the critical temperature $T_c$ are obtained for the $γ$ model -- a version of Eliashberg theory in which the effective electron-electron interaction is proportional to $(g/|ω_n-ω_m|)^γ$, where $ω_n-ω_m$ is the transferred Matsubara frequency, $g>0$ a reference energy, and $γ>0$ a parameter. The rigorous lower bounds are based on a variational principle that identifies $(T_c/g)^γ$ with the largest (positive) eigenvalue of an explicitly constructed compact, self-adjoint operator $\mathfrak{G}(γ)$. These lower bounds form an increasing sequence that converges to $T_c(g,γ)$. The upper bound on $T_c(g,γ)$ is based on fixed point theory, proving linear stability of the normal state for $T$ larger than the upper bound on $T_c(g,γ)$.

Using the recent reformulation for the Eliashberg theory of superconductivity in terms of a classical interacting Bloch spin chain model, rigorous upper and lower bounds on the critical temperature $T_c$ are obtained for the $γ$ model -- a version of Eliashberg theory in which the effective electron-electron interaction is proportional to $(g/|ω_n-ω_m|)^γ$, where $ω_n-ω_m$ is the transferred Matsubara frequency, $g>0$ a reference energy, and $γ>0$ a parameter.

These lower bounds form an increasing sequence that converges to $T_c(g,γ)$. The upper bound on $T_c(g,γ)$ is based on fixed point theory, proving linear stability of the normal state for $T$ larger than the upper bound on $T_c(g,γ)$.
