Abstract
A comprehensive treatment of the theory of superfluid helium-3 is presented in this book. This treatment also illustrates many of the principal themes of theoretical condensed matter physics over the past two decades. The generalized BCS (Barden-Cooper-Schrieffer) pairing theory and the experimental properties of superfluid helium-3 are treated in detail. Extensive treatment of broken symmetries and their relation to macroscopic order and of the closely related topics of superflow and texture, defects in the order parameter field, and the dynamics of the nuclear spins as probed by nuclear magnetic resonance is included. This book should serve as a valuable reference for anyone working on superfluid helium-3 or on the closely related topics of unconventional superconductivity in heavy-electron metals and superfluidity of neutron star interiors.
