Adiabatic dynamics of low-lying collective modes in the BEC-BCS crossover
Abstract
As the hydrodynamic theory breaks down with the local density ap-
proximation in the fermionic superfluid with spin-polarization, we develop a
general formalism of the adiabatic dynamics for the low-lying collective modes
in the BEC-BCS crossover, which is exact in the adiabatic limit. This adi-
abatic dynamic theory is based on a static density functional theory of the
spin-polarized superfluid system, which we derive as a generalization of the
conventional density functional theory of superfluid for current experimental
interests. A special case where the system is uniform and analytically solv-
able is studied in detail. We show that our adiabatic equations of motion are
reduced to the hydrodynamic equations of motion within local density approx-
imation, which provides a solid microscopic foundation for the well-publicized
phenomenological hydrodynamic theory.
