  In this note we consider three issues related to the unitary Fermi gas in a
harmonic trap. 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}\hbar\omega, with an undetermined numerical constant. We also show that
for odd N the lowest excitation energies are of order N^{-1/3}\hbar\omega.
