We present results of experiments in superfluid phases of 3He confined in aerogel which strands are nearly parallel to one another. High temperature superfluid phases of 3He in this aerogel (ESP1 and ESP2) are chiral phases and have polar…
We consider the theoretical setting of a superfluid like 3He in a rotating container, which is set between the two layers of a type-II superconductor. We describe the superfluid vortices as a 2-dimensional Ising-like model on a triangular…

Random textures of the orbital part of the order parameter of superfluid 3He-A in aerogel are analyzed theoretically in the Ginzburg and Landau region both in the presence and in the absence of a global anisotropy. Correlation functions of…
We report on thermodynamic and optical measurements of the condensation process of $^4$He in three silica aerogels of different microstructures. For the two base-catalysed aerogels, the temperature dependence of the shape of adsorption…
Although there is strong theoretical and experimental evidence for electron-hole superfluidity in separated sheets of electrons and holes at low $T$, extending superfluidity to high $T$ is limited by strong 2D fluctuations and…
A superfluid having atomic scale superflow of a hexagonal lattice of vortex and antivortex filaments, described by a single macroscopic wave function is presented as a supersolid. As superfluid \he4 is pressurized, at a first order…
This paper represents the full version of a paper published earlier in Physica A [246 (1997), 275]. The present paper includes argumentation, proofs and details omitted in the shortened version. The papers are a further development of the…
Recent experiments have detected 4He supersolidity, but the observed transition is rather unusual. In this paper, we describe a supersolid as a normal lattice suffused by a Bose gas. With this approach, we can explain the central aspects of…
The pressure dependence of the order parameter in superfluid $^3$He is amazingly simple. In the Ginzburg-Landau regime, i.e. close to $T_c$, the square of the order parameter can be accurately measured by its proportionality to NMR…
We theoretically investigate the role of surface Andreev bound states (SABSs) on the phase diagram and spin susceptibilities of superfluid 3He confined to a restricted geometry. We first explicitly derive the dispersion of the SABS in 3He-B…
The proximity effect in superfluid $^3$He partly filled with high porosity aerogel is discussed. This system can be regarded as a dirty Fermi liquid/spin-triplet p-wave superfluid junction. Our attention is mainly paid to the case when the…
We report on Monte Carlo studies of the critical behaviour of superfluid $^4$He in the presence of quenched disorder with long-range fractal correlations. According to the heuristic argument by Harris, uncorrelated disorder is irrelevant…
We use a quantum lattice gas model to describe essential aspects of the motion of 4He atoms and of 3He impurities in solid 4He. This study suggests that 3He impurities bind to defects and promote 4He atoms to interstitial sites which can…
In superfluid $^3$He turbulence is carried predominantly by the superfluid component. To explore the statistical properties of this quantum turbulence and its differences from the classical counterpart we adopt the time-honored approach of…
It is shown theoretically that ferromagnetic superconductors, UGe$_2$, URhGe, and UCoGe can be described in terms of the A-phase like triplet pairing similar to superfluid $^3$He in a unified way, including peculiar reentrant, S-shape, or…
The equal-spin pairing (ESP) state, the so-called A-like phase, of superfluid $^3$He in aerogels is studied theoretically in the Ginzburg-Landau (GL) region by examining thermodynamics, and the resulting equilibrium phase diagram is mapped…
We provide topological classification of possible phases with the symmetry of the planar phase of superfluid $^3$He. Compared to the B-phase (class DIII in classification of Altland and Zirnbauer), it has an additional symmetry, which…
We have studied theoretically the flow of superfluid 3He-A in parallel-plate geometry. The equilibrium order-parameter texture is calculated numerically in two spatial dimensions consisting of the coordinates along the flow direction and…
A zero temperature superfluid is arguably the simplest system in which to study complex fluid dynamics, such as turbulence. We describe computer simulations of such turbulence and compare the results directly with recent experiments in…
