Shuji Watanabe, got my PhD at Nagoya University, Japan and I am now a Professor of Mathematics at Gunma University, Japan. I am especially interested in operator theory applied to the BCS-Bogoliubov model of superconductivity. In the BCS-Bogoliubov model, one differentiates the thermodynamic potential with respect to the temperature twice so as to show that the transition from a normal conducting state to a superconducting state is a second-order phase transition without an external magnetic field. Since the thermodynamic potential has the solution to the BCS-Bogoliubov gap equation in its form, one differentiates the solution with respect to the temperature twice without showing that the solution is differentiable. Therefore, if the solution were not differentiable with respect to the temperature, then one could not differentiate the solution, and hence one could not show the second-order phase transition. This is why we need to show that the solution is differentiable with respect to the temperature twice as well as showing its existence and uniqueness. Motivated by this, in my recent papers I showed that the solution to the BCS-Bogoliubov gap equation is indeed differentiable with respect to the temperature twice on the basis of fixed-point theorems, and gave an operator-theoretical proof for the second-order phase transition. In this way, from the viewpoint of operator theory, I solved the long-standing problem of the second-order phase transition left unsolved for sixty-three years since the discovery of the BCS-Bogoliubov model.

Yuri Pusep has been an Associate Professor and Head of Semiconductor Laboratory at University of São Paulo, Institute of Physics of São Carlos since 2001. After completing his PhD at the Novosibirsk Institute of Semiconductors in 1985, he was a postdoc fellow in Prof. M. Cardona group at the Max Planck Institute in Stuttgart. Yuri Pusep’s current research interest is focused on the single–electron and collective properties of semiconductor nanostructures, which are studied using electron transport and optical spectroscopy techniques. In particular, it includes magneto-transport, micro-photoluminescence and micro-Raman scattering on the micrometer scale, and time-resolved measurements. He has published more than 150 scientific papers.

Dr Dominique Kalassa Munongo graduated from the University of Bonn/Germany in 1989 in Experimental Nuclear Physics with an investigation of the Nuclear Orientation of Gold-198at low temperature. He served as faculty at the University of Kinshasa (Democratic Republic of Congo) for two Years (1989-1991) before returning to Germany to complete a Doctoral Thesis in Theoretical Nuclear Physics at the Jülich Center for Nuclear Research (KFA-Jülich, 1996).He is currently living in Canada and studying some fundamental questions of contemporary Theoretical and General Physics.

Professor V.G. Plekhanov has graduated from Tartu State University (Estonia). He obtained Ph. D. (physics and mathematics) 1972 as well as Doctor of Science (physics and mathematics) 1982 – both degrees from Tartu State University. He is author more than ten monographs in different field of physics and informatics. Main interest field: the origin of the mass and nature of the residual strong nuclear interaction as well as science of the materials.
