Abstract

We show that in Sr2RuO4 the Fermi surface geometry as inferred from angle resolved photoemission experiments has important implications for a pairing interaction dominated by incommensurate, strongly anisotropic, spin fluctuations. For a spin fluctuation spectrum consistent with inelastic neutron-scattering experiments the system is close to an accidental degeneracy between even parity spin singlet and odd parity spin triplet channels. This opens the possibility of a mixed parity order parameter state in Sr2RuO4. We determine the stable and metastable order parameter phases at low-temperatures and discuss especially phases with order parameter nodes.
