  We consider a polarized Fermi gas in the BCS-BEC crossover region above the
critical temperature within a T matrix formalism. By treating the mean-field
like shift of the quasiparticle energies in a self-consistent manner, we avoid
the known pathological behavior of the standard Nozieres-Schmitt-Rink approach
in the polarized case, i.e., the polarization has the right sign and the spin
polarizability is positive. The momentum distributions of the correlated system
are computed and it is shown that, in the zero-temperature limit, they satisfy
the Luttinger theorem. Results for the phase diagram, the spin susceptibility,
and the compressibility are discussed.
