Strong attraction: highest superfluid Tc ~ TF
Origin? Any way to achieve stronger?
Strong repulsion: itinerant Ferromagnetism
Exist or not?
Connecting two issues:
The answers are both strongly indicated by two-body solutions
Strongly interacting Fermi gas (1999-2011)

Now, though the existence of FM in 3D is still under debate, it seems that nature does NOT prefer FM !
Then, is there any place for the cold atom community to find Itinerant FM?
Yes!
One definite approach to FM:
1D system, g1D<0 side , upper branch !
Another possible approach to FM:
2D system, kFa2D>>1 , upper branch !

the BAEs also have real solutions for c <0, which, however, correspond to some highly excited states of attractive Fermi systems. The FSTG state corresponds to the lowest real solutions of BAEs with c <0.

Yes! from a two-body perspective

make predictions to many other systems eg: 1D/ 3D narrow resonance, and 2D.
