Kohn-Luttinger : PRL 15 (1965) 524 finite T c “in principle” even for purely repulsive interaction Theory for superfluid 3 He Pairing interaction in triplet channel Para-magnon = ferromagnetic spin fluctuations Spin triplet P-wave pairing

10 Anderson-Brinkman: Phys. Rev. Lett. 30 (1973) 1108. Ferromagnetic spin-fluctuation mechanism was so successful for understanding the existence of 3 He-A phase (ABM phase) The same process is valid also for antiferromagnetic spin fluctuations KM, Schmitt-Rink, Varma: PRB 34 (1986) 6554. Scalapino, Loh, Hirsch: PRB 34 (1986) 8190. spin triplet spin singlet Pairing interaction in singlet channel Kuroda: Prog. Theor. Phys. 51 (1974) 1269. Analogy between heavy fermion SC and 3He was stressed till mid ’80‘, early stage of research of heavy fermion SC General expression of pairing interaction in RPA AF fluctuations promote “d-wave”
