Abstract

We discuss the polar phase of 3^3He, which is realized in the anisotropic aerogel. We consider it in the framework of the BCS model. In the absence of the spin - orbit interaction this model predicts the appearance of the Fermi line. However, it is topologically unstable. We demonstrate, that the spin - orbit interaction gives rise to the appearance of the two Fermi points instead of the Fermi line. In addition to the gapless Nambu - Goldstone bosons in this system the collective gapped bosonic states exist. Their gaps are calculated, and the corresponding Nambu sum rule is established.
