Due to the current search of Majorana fermions, the physics of two-dimensional
identical fermions with short-range p-wave interactions is of considerable
interest. The seminar will be about the effective theory of a chiral p+ip fermionic
superfluid at zero temperature. This theory naturally incorporates the parity and
time reversal violating effects such as the Hall viscosity and the edge current. It
also allows to study an isolated vortex in a chiral superfluid and identify the
leading chirality effect in the density depletion profile.
