“…Since a precise correlation between the AF order and the T c splitting under pressure, which simultaneously disappear at P ∼ 3 kbar, is observed [73], this is still puzzling although we previously presented a scenario for this splitting due to AF fluctuations [15]. An alternative idea is to use the crystal symmetry lowering, which is also reported before [74][75][76][77].…”

Motivated by a recent angle-resolved thermal conductivity experiment that shows a twofold gap symmetry in the high-field and low-temperature C phase in the heavy-fermion superconductor UPt3, we group-theoretically identify the pairing functions as E1u with the f -wave character for all the three phases. The pairing functions are consistent with the observation as well as with a variety of existing measurements. By using a microscopic quasi-classical Eilenberger equation with the identified triplet pairing function under applied fields, we performed detailed studies of the vortex structures for three phases, including the vortex lattice symmetry, the local density of states, and the internal field distribution. These quantities are directly measurable experimentally by SANS, STM/STS, and NMR, respectively. It is found that, in the B phase of low H and low T , the double-core vortex is stabilized over a singular vortex. In the C phase, thermal conductivity data are analyzed to confirm the gap structure proposed. We also give detailed comparisons of various proposed pair functions, concluding that the present scenario of E1u with the f -wave, which is an analogue to the triplet planar state, is better than the E2u or E1g scenario. Finally, we discuss the surface topological aspects of Majorana modes associated with the E f 1u state of planar like features.
