Abstract

We describe the emergence of color superfluidity in ultra-cold fermions\ninduced by color-orbit and color-flip fields that transform a conventional\nsinglet-pairing s-wave system into an unconventional non-s-wave superfluid with\nquintuplet pairing. We show that the tuning of interactions, color-orbit and\ncolor-flip fields transforms a momentum-independent scalar order parameter into\nan explicitly momentum-dependent tensor order parameter. We classify all\nunconventional superfluid phases in terms of the it loci of zeros of their\nquasi-particle excitation spectrum in momentum space and we identify several\nLifshitz-type topological transitions. Furthermore, when boundaries between\nphases are crossed, non-analyticities in the compressibility arise. We find a\nquintuple point, which is also pentacritical, where four gapless superfluid\nphases converge into a fully gapped superfluid phase.\n
