Abstract

The Anderson–Bogoliubov branch of collective excitations in a condensed Fermi gas is treated using the effective bosonic action of Gaussian pair fluctuations. The spectra of collective excitations are treated for finite temperature and momentum throughout the BCS–BEC crossover. The obtained spectra explain, both qualitatively and quantitatively, recent experimental results on Goldstone modes in atomic Fermi superfluids.
