Breathing modes of a fast rotating Fermi gas

We derive the frequency spectrum of the lowest compressional oscillations of a three-dimensional harmonically trapped Fermi superfluid in the presence of a vortex lattice, treated in the diffused vorticity approximation within a hydrodynamic approach. We consider the general case of a superfluid at T=0 characterized by a polytropic equation of state (similar to n(gamma)), which includes both the Bose-Einstein condensed regime of dimers (gamma=1) and the unitary limit of infinite scattering length (gamma=2/3). Important limiting cases are considered, including the centrifugal limit, the isotropic trapping, and the cigar geometry. The conditions required to enter the lowest Landau level and quantum Hall regimes at unitarity are also discussed.
