Scientific paper

The superfluid transition in an ultracold two-component atomic Fermi gas is analyzed in the case where the two components have different densities. We describe a superfluid state which spontaneously breaks the rotational-symmetry by deforming the Fermi surfaces of both species into ellipsoidal form. At relatively large hyperfine-spin asymmetries, this deformation is shown to help the appearance of pairing, which in the rotationally-symmetric (BCS) case would be forbidden by Pauli blocking. The prospects for experimental detection of such a deformed Fermi surface phase are discussed.
