Recently some experimental evidences have been obtained in favour of the existence of the inhomogeneous Fulde-Ferrell-Larkin-Ovchinnikov (FFLO) superconducting state. However the unambiguous identification of FFLO state remains very difficult. Since the region of the critical fluctuations is extremely narrow in superconductors, we investigate theoretically the Gaussian fluctuations near the FFLO transition and demonstrate that the behaviors of the fluctuational specific heat and paraconductivity in the normal state are qualitatively different from the usual superconducting transition. Special values of the critical exponents and the crossovers between different fluctuational regimes may provide a unique test for the FFLO state appearance.
