Absence of fermionic quasiparticles in the superfluid state of the attractive fermi gas

We calculate the effect of order parameter fluctuations on the fermionic single-particle excitations in the superfluid state of neutral fermions interacting with short-range attractive forces. We show that in dimensions D< or =3 the singular effective interaction between the fermions mediated by...

Zusammenfassung:We calculate the effect of order parameter fluctuations on the fermionic single-particle excitations in the superfluid state of neutral fermions interacting with short-range attractive forces. We show that in dimensions D< or =3 the singular effective interaction between the fermions mediated by the gapless Bogoliubov-Anderson mode prohibits the existence of well-defined quasiparticles. We explicitly calculate the single-particle spectral function in the BEC regime in D=3 and show that in this case the quasiparticle residue and the density of states are logarithmically suppressed.
