We present a short proof of a virial theorem, which states that the average energy of a particle system at unitarity in a harmonic trap is twice larger than the average potential energy. The theorem is valid for all systems with no intrinsic scale, at zero or finite temperature. We discuss the odd-even splitting in a unitarity Fermi gas in a harmonic trap. We show that at large number of particles N the odd-even splitting is proportional to N^{1/9}\hbarω, with an undetermined numerical constant. We also show that for odd N the lowest excitation energies are of order N^{-1/3}\hbarω.6 pages, 1 figureOther Condensed MatterThree comments on the Fermi gas at unitarity in a harmonic traptext
