Abstract

Several possible odd-parity states are listed up group-theoretically and examined in light of recent experiments on Sr2_2RuO4_4. Those include some of the ff-wave pairing states, \mibd(\mibk)\mibz^kxky(kx+iky){\mib d}({\mib k})\propto{\hat{\mib z}} k_xk_y(k_x + {\rm i}k_y) and \mibz^(kx2ky2)(kx+iky){\hat{\mib z}} (k_x^2-k_y^2)(k_x + {\rm i}k_y) and other \mibz^(kx+iky)cosckz{\hat{\mib z}} (k_x + {\rm i}k_y)\cos ck_z (cc is the cc-axis lattice constant) as most plausible candidates. These are time-reversal symmetry broken states and have line nodes running either vertically (the former two) or horizontally (the latter), consistent with experiments. Characterizations of these states and other possibilities are given.
