In a recent paper [cond-mat/0303185], Wu and Yip presented calculations that they interpreted as indicating an instability of the interior gap phase -- a new, hybrid superfluid-normal state of matter that we proposed in [PRL 90, 047002…

We propose a new state of matter in which the pairing interactions carve out a gap within the interior of a large Fermi ball, while the exterior surface remains gapless. This defines a system which contains both a superfluid and a normal…

We consider the experimental properties of superconductors with a gap which is an odd function of energy $\bepsk=\epsk - \mu$, i.e.\ , a gap which vanishes everywhere on the Fermi surface; this is done within a in a BCS framework. Apart…

A new superfluid phase in Fermi matter, termed as "interior gap" (IG) or "breached pair", has been recently predicted by Liu and Wilczek [Phys.Rev.Lett. {\bf 90}, 047002 (2003)]. This results from pairing between fermions of two species…

We review properties of gapless states. We construct a model where a stable breached pair (gapless) state is realized.

The superflow in a superfluid is bounded from above by Landau's critical velocity. Within a microscopic bosonic model, I show that below this critical velocity there is a dynamical instability that manifests itself in an imaginary sound…

Gapless superconductivity can arise when pairing occurs between fermion species with different Fermi surface sizes, provided there is a sufficiently large mismatch between Fermi surfaces and/or at sufficiently large coupling constant. In…

We investigate the stability of supercurrents in a Bose-Einstein condensate with one-dimensional spin-orbit and Raman couplings. The consequence of the lack of Galilean invariance is explicitly discussed. We show that in the plane-wave…

Candidate homogeneous, isotropic superfluid or superconducting states of paired fermion species with different chemical potentials, can lead to quasiparticle excitation energies that vanish at either zero, one, or two spheres in momentum…

We study two-fluid systems with nonzero fluid velocities and compute their sound modes, which indicate various instabilities. For the case of two zero-temperature superfluids we employ a microscopic field-theoretical model of two coupled…

We systematically apply density functional theory to determine the kind of inhomogeneities that spontaneously develop in a homogeneous gapless phase of neutral two-flavor superfluid quark matter. We consider inhomogeneities in the quark and…

It is shown by microscopic calculations for trapped imbalanced Fermi superfluids that the gap function has always sign changes, i.e., the Fulde-Ferrell-Larkin-Ovchinnikov (FFLO) state like, up to a critical imbalance $P_c$, beyond which…

The hallmark of superfluidity is the appearance of "vortex states" carrying a quantized metastable circulating current. Considering a unidirectional flow of particles in a ring, at first it appears that any amount of scattering will…

Our study of a basic model for incompressible two-phase flows with phase transitions consistent with thermodynamics in the case of constant but non-equal densities of the phases, begun by the first two authors is continued. We extend our…

The conditions of stability of the superfluid phase in double layer systems with pairing of spatially separated electrons and holes in the low density limit are studied. The general expression for the collective excitation spectrum is…

We study the stability of p-wave superfluidity against quantum fluctuations in two-dimensional Fermi gases near a p-wave Feshbach resonance . An analysis is carried out in the limit when the interchannel coupling is strong. By investigating…

Superfluidity in atomic Fermi gases with population imbalance has recently become an exciting research focus. There is considerable disagreement in the literature about the appropriate stability conditions for states in the phase diagram…

The emergence of superconductivity in unconventional superconductors usually accompanies the normal-state phases of pseudogap, strange metal and Fermi liquid. It indicates these phases are strongly related to the superconducting state and…

Superconductivity owes its properties to the phase of the electron pair condensate that breaks the $U(1)$ symmetry. In the most traditional ground state, the phase is uniform and rigid. The normal state can be unstable towards special…

Interior gap superfluidity was introduced together with Frank Wilczek. Later on together with our collaborators, we generalized this new possibility of superfluidity to a broader concept, breach pair superfluidity. In the occasion to…
