Abstract
The collective modes of the gap parameter for the axial (Anderson-Brinkman-Morel) state and their coupling to the quasiparticles are studied in the collisionless regime within a microscopic theory. In addition to the modes connected with the spontaneous breakdown of symmetries (sound, spin waves, and orbit waves), three weakly damped modes with a typical dispersion law ω2(q)=ω2(0)+α(vFq)2 are found. The feasibility of detecting these modes in the sound absorption is discussed.
