Jeans Instability in Superfluids

High Energy Physics - Theory 2017-11-08 v1

Abstract

We analyze the effect of a gravitational field on the sound modes of superfluids. We derive an instability condition that generalizes the well known Jeans instability of the sound mode in normal fluids. We discuss potential experimental implications.
