We describe an imbalanced superfluid Fermi gas in three dimensions within the path-integral framework. To allow for the formation of the Fulde-Ferell-Larkin-Ovchinnikov-state (FFLO-state), a suitable form of the saddle-point is chosen, in…
We calculate the pair susceptibility of an attractive spin-polarized Fermi gas in the normal phase, as a function of the pair momentum. Close to unitarity, we find a strong enhancement of Fulde-Ferrell-Larkin-Ovchinnikov (FFLO) pairing…

The Fulde-Ferrell (FF) superfluid phase, in which fermions form finite-momentum Cooper pairings, is well studied in spin-singlet superfluids in past decades. Different from previous works that engineer the FF state in spinful cold atoms, we…
I study cross dimensionality of $p$-orbital atomic fermions loaded in an optical square lattice with repulsive interactions. The cross-dimensionality emerges when the transverse tunneling of $p$-orbital fermions is negligible. With…
We show that fermionic dipoles in a two-layer geometry form Cooper pairs with both singlet and triplet components, when they are tilted with respect to the normal of the planes. The mixed parity pairing arises because the interaction…
