Stability Criteria for Breached Pair Superfluidity

High Energy Physics - Phenomenology 2008-11-26 v2 Superconductivity

Abstract

We present simple, concrete, two-fermion models that exhibit thermodynamically stable isotropic translationally-invariant gapless superfluid states (breached pair superfluidity). The mass ratio between the components and the momentum structure of the interaction are crucial for determining the stability of such states: Idealized, momentum-independent (``contact'') interactions are insufficient.
