Abstract The Bose-Einstein condensation (BEC) temperature Tc of Cooper pairs (CPs) created from a general interfermion interaction is determined for a linear, as well as the usually assumed quadratic, energy vs center-of-mass momentum dispersion relation. This explicit Tc is then compared with a widely applied implicit one of Wen & Kan (1988) in d=2+∈ dimensions, for small ∈, for a geometry of an infinite stack of parallel (e.g., copperoxygen) planes as in, say, a cuprate superconductor, and with a new result for linear-dispersion CPs. The implicit formula gives Tc values only slightly lower than those of the explicit formula for typical cuprate parameters.
