24. In this formalism, we neglect the Fulde-Ferrell-Larkin-Ovchinnikov (FFLO) state with condensation at nonzero pair momenta. The FFLO state can be stabilized only within a narrow parameter region on the BCS side. The calculation in is done for a homogeneous gas under a narrow Feshbach resonance, but we did similar calculation on the FFLO state under a wide Feshbach resonance and in a potential trap [W. Yi, G.-D. Lin, and L.-M. Duan (unpublished)], and find qualitatively the same conclusion.
