Abstract
Ultracold atomic Fermi gases close to Feshbach resonances represent the ideal platform to study strongly correlated fermionic states [1]. Up to now, most of the experimental efforts have been dedicated to the study of the famous BEC-BCS crossover, i.e. the transition from a Bose-Einstein condensate of tightly bound molecules to a BCS superfluid of long-range fermion pairs. However, such fermionic gases are the ideal environment to explore also the effects of strong, repulsive interactions. The interest in studying repulsive Fermi gases is manifold, since many phase transitions are driven by the strong repulsion between electrons in solids. One notable example is represented by the onset of itinerant ferromagnetism in metals, as envisioned by Stoner almost ninety years ago.
