Abstract
It is shown that finite size effects stabilize a variety of phases in superfluid3He which do not occur in the bulk liquid. These phases are formed at temperatures at which the coherence length is comparable with the smallest linear dimension of the system. Right circular cylindrical geometries are considered explicitly.
