Abstract
Several possible odd-parity states are listed up group-theoretically and examined in light of recent experiments on SrRuO. Those include some of the -wave pairing states, ${\mib d}({\mib k})\propto{\hat{\mib z}} k_xk_y(k_x + {\rm i}k_y)$ and ${\hat{\mib z}} (k_x^2-k_y^2)(k_x + {\rm i}k_y)$ and other ${\hat{\mib z}} (k_x + {\rm i}k_y)\cos ck_z$ ( is the -axis lattice constant) as most plausible candidates. These are time-reversal symmetry broken states and have line nodes running either vertically (the former two) or horizontally (the latter), consistent with experiments. Characterizations of these states and other possibilities are given.
