Cooper pairing of fermions is a profound phenomenon that has become
very important in many different areas of physics in the recent
past. This book brings together, for the first time, experts from
various fields involving Cooper pairing, at the level of BCS theory
and beyond, including the study of novel states of matter such as
ultracold atomic gases, nuclear systems at the extreme, and quark
matter with application to neutron stars. Cross-disciplinary in
nature, the book will be of interest to physicists in many
different specialties, including condensed matter, nuclear,
high-energy, and astrophysics. The emphasis is on novel issues
beyond ordinary BCS theory such as pairing in asymmetric systems,
the polarization effect, and higher spin pairing. These topics are
rarely treated at the textbook level and all of them are the
subjects of intensive ongoing research. The book also considers
various new techniques widely used in current research that differ
significantly from the conventional condensed matter approaches
described in the standard literature.
