Strongly correlated Fermi systems with pairing interactions become superfluid below a critical temperature $$T_c$$. The extent to which such pairing correlations alter the behavior of the liquid at temperatures $$T > T_c$$ is a subtle issue that remains an area of debate, in particular regarding the appearance of the so-called pseudogap in the BCS-BEC crossover of unpolarized spin-1/2 nonrelativistic matter. To shed light on this, in this work we extract several quantities of crucial importance at and around the unitary limit, namely, the odd-even staggering of the total energy, the spin susceptibility, the pairing correlation function, the condensate fraction, and the critical temperature $$T_c$$, using a nonperturbative, constrained-ensemble quantum Monte Carlo algorithm.
