For decades, the conventional view is that an s-wave BCS superfluid can not support uniform spin polarization due to a gapΔin the quasiparticle excitation spectrum. We show that this is an artifact of the dismissal of quasiparticle interactionsVqpin the conventional approach at the outset. Such interactions can cause triplet fluctuations in the ground state and hence non-zero spin polarization at “magnetic field”h<Δ. The resulting ground state is a pairing state of quasiparticles on the “BCS vacuum”. For sufficiently largeVqp, the spin polarization of at unitarity has the simple formm∝μ1/2. Our study is motivated by the recent experiments on Fermi gases with spin imbalance in the strongly interacting regime.
