Abstract The properties of a superconductor having an energy gap function Δk(ω n ) which is an odd function of frequencyω n, or time, are investigated. One finds (a) the allowed pair orbital angular momenta for spin zero and spin one are interchanged, permittingS= 0, l=1 and S=1, l=0 condensates; (b) there exists an equal-time order parameter corresponding to condensation of a spin wave coupled to two fermions, in contrast to the conventional timereversed fermion pair condensate; an explicit energy gap equation is derived for this composite operator condensate; (c) the coherence factors are shown to be reversed from those of conventional pairing, forω〉2Δ, removing the peak in thea+C conductivityσ(ω) and generating a peak in theω〉2Δ acoustic attenuation as a function of temperature; (d) the Josephson current vanishes between an even and odd frequency superconductor, and vanishes to leading order in the tunneling rates ∼t 12 2 .
