Abstract
The BCS-model for an infinitely extended superconductor is analysed mathematically. The reason why the model is solvable becomes evident in the present formulation. It is shown that the ground states with unsharp particle number belong to irreducible representations, those with sharp particle number to reducible representations of the basic operator algebra. The connection between uniqueness of the ground state, irreducibility and linked cluster decomposition is reviewed.
