Superfluidity in a Three-flavor Fermi Gas with SU(3) Symmetry

, 2006
We investigate the superfluidity and the associated Nambu-Goldstone modes in a three-flavor atomic Fermi gas with SU(3) global symmetry. The s-wave pairing occurs in flavor anti-triplet channel due to the Pauli principle, and the superfluid state ...
