The nature of Sr₂RuO₄’s superconducting order parameter is a long-standing puzzle. First proposed to be a triplet superconductor, the current preferred picture is that of a degenerate singlet order parameter. The main driving force behind this development is the unification of experimental measurements and theoretical predictions. In this talk, we will employ a functional renormalization group approach to first-principles derived tight binding models to study the behavior of the leading order parameter under strain. Additionally, we examine the influence of momentum dependent spin-orbit coupling. Our results suggest the possible pairing candidates should be restricted to combinations of a d-wave pseudospin singlet with another order parameter whose critical temperature is not influenced by strain.
