By means of Green's functions methods, Gorkov derived the BCS theory on the basis of the Ansatz that the correlation part of the second-order Green's function could be factored in the form χχ* where χ is a two-particle function closely related to the Ginzburg–Landau order-parameter. Since the density matrix is an initial value of a Green's function, Gorkov's Ansatz is equivalent to an assumption about the 2-matrix. The present paper considers circumstances in which the Gorkov Ansatz is exactly satisfied by a system of a definite number of fermions.
