We investigate superfluid properties of a one-component Fermi gas with a uniaxially anisotropic $p$-wave pairing interaction, $U_x>U_y=U_z$ (where $U_i$ ($i=x,y,z)$ is a $p_i$-wave pairing interaction). This type of interaction is…

As is known, the 1/q^2 theorem of Bogoliubov asserts that the mean density of the fermion pair states with the total momentum q obeys the inequality n_q > C/q^2 (q \to 0) in the case of the Fermi system taken at nonzero temperature and in…
The signature of superfluidity in bosonic systems is a sound wave-like spectrum of the single particle excitations which in the case of strong interactions is roughly temperature independent. In fermionic systems, where fermion pairing…
The order parameter and its variations in space and time in many different states in condensed matter physics at low temperatures are described by the complex function $\Psi({\bf r}, t)$. These states include superfluids, superconductors,…
The Higgs boson in fermionic condensates with the BCS pairing interaction describes the dynamics of the pairing amplitude. I show that the existence and properties of this mode are sensitive to the energy dispersion of the interaction.…

Symmetry-breaking phase transitions are central to our understanding of states of matter. When a continuous symmetry is spontaneously broken, new excitations appear that are tied to fluctuations of the order parameter. In superconductors…
