The collective mode frequencies in isotropic and deformed traps are calculated for general polytropic equation of states, Pnγ+1, and expressed in terms of γ and the trap geometry. For molecular and standard Bose-Einstein condensates and Fermi gases near Feshbach resonances, the effective power γ≃0.5–1.3 is calculated from Jastrow type wave-function ansatz, and from the crossover model of Leggett. The resulting mode frequencies are calculated for these phases around the BEC-BCS crossover.
