Revisiting the Hugenholtz-Van Hove theorem in nuclear matter

Abstract

An assessment of the magnitude of the rearrangement contribution to the Fermi energy and to the binding energy per particle is carried out in symmetric nuclear matter by extending the G-matrix framework. The restoration of the thermodynamic consistency or, equivalently, the fulfillment of the Hugenholtz-Van Hove theorem, is discussed.
