Abstract
A review of properties of matter in the interior of neutron stars is given. Particular attention is paid to recent many-body theory calculations of the properties of dense matter. Among topics discussed are the strong increase of tensor correlations at relatively low densities, the "relativistic boost term" in the interaction, and the sensitivity of properties of neutron star models to three-body forces.
