Particle interactions in a Fermi gas may be such as to attract pairs near the Fermi surface more strongly in l= 1, 2, 3 or higher states than in the simple spherically symmetrical s state. In that case the Bardeen-Cooper-Schrieffer condensed state must be generalized, and the resulting state is an anisotropic superfluid. We have studied the properties of this type of state in considerable detail, especially for l= 1 and 2. We have derived expressions for the energy, the moment of inertia, the magnetic susceptibility and the specific heat. We also derive the density correlation function and the density-current density correlation; in some cases the latter implies that the liquid has net surface currents and a net orbital angular momentum. The ground state for l= 2 is different from those previously considered, and has cubic symmetry and no net angular momentum. A general method for replacing the possibly rather complicated potential by a simple scattering matrix is given. A brief discussion of possible collective effects is included. We apply our results to liquid He 3; after correction for scattering by a method due to Suhl, it is found that the predicted transition should take place below 0.02 K. Other possible applications are suggested.
