Much of the interest in Sr2RuO4 arises from the possibility that it
supports topological chiral p-wave superconductivity and, consequently,
might support Majorana modes under certain conditions. Despite the
distinct triplet pairing, Sr2RuO4 has a number of similarities to the
iron superconductors, including substantial electronic correlations and
magnetic fluctuations, multiple sheets of the Fermi surface arising from
d-orbitals, and strong spin-orbit coupling -- all of which can impact on
the superconducting state. I will give a brief introduction to and
overview of Sr2RuO4, and then focus on some of the recent insights
gleaned from experiments and theory, as well as on the still open
questions.
