    Condensate formation with three-component ultracold fermions

    We investigate the formation of Bose-Einstein condensation and population imbalance in a three-component Fermi superfluid by increasing the U(3) invariant attractive interaction. We consider the system at zero temperature in three dimensions and also in two dimensions. Within the mean-field theory, we derive explicit formulas for number densities, gap order parameter, condensate density and condensate fraction of the uniform system, and analyze them in the crossover from the Bardeen-Cooper-Schrieffer (BCS) state of Cooper pairs to the Bose-Einstein Condensate (BEC) of strongly-bound molecular dimers. In addition, we study this Fermi mixture trapped by a harmonic potential: we calculate the density profiles of the three components and the condensate density profile of Cooper pairs in the BCS-BEC crossover.Comment: 6 pages, 3 figures, accepted for publication in Physical Review A (regular article

    Cointegration Rank Test and Long Run Specification: A Note on the Robustness of Structural Demand Systems

    Private demand systems provide a practical application for analyzing identification issues in cointegration analysis. The paper conducts Montecarlo simulation experiments of cointegrated demand systems by assuming non-separability of government consumption. This framework enables further to test the robustness of models under alternative empirical specifications in which the homogeneity restriction is assumed to hold. The results highlight that separability of utility function with respect to government spending and the over-inclusion of lagged dependent variables introduce important bias in identifying the long run demand system, while the model specification with homogeneity restriction perform better when the theoretical hypothesis is contained in the data.Length: 34 pagesNon-separable structural models, Demand systems, Homogeneity.
