SUMMARY
II. Fluctuations and shell structure of BCS gaps in nuclei well described by periodic orbit theory. Non-universal corrections to BCS fluctuations important (beyond RMT).
III. Cold Fermi-gas in 2D traps - Detailed shell structure: Hund’s rule for repulsive int.; Pairing type for attractive int.
Pairing from: Odd-even energy difference, 1st excited state in even-N system, Cond. prob. function
Interaction blockade. Yrast line spectrum
I. Cold Fermionic gases show supershell structure in harmonic confinement.
VI. Effective interaction scheme (Lee-Suzuki) works well for many-body boson system (short-ranged force)
