The "ab initio" approach to the nuclear equation of state: review and discussion

Abstract

We review the main components of our microscopic model of nuclear matter, which we have recently extended to incorporate isospin asymmetry. Some frequently discussed issues concerning nuclear many-body approaches are revisited and critically analysed.
