We solve the in-medium T-matrix equation at finite temperature including the off-shell propagation of nucleons. In this way a self-consistent spectral function for the nucleons is obtained. The results are compared to a calculation using…
We describe how the fast quasi-centroid molecular dynamics (f-QCMD) method can be applied to condensed phase systems by approximating the quasi-centroid potential of mean force as a sum of inter- and intra-molecular corrections to the…
While the well-established $GW$ approximation corresponds to a resummation of the direct ring diagrams and is particularly well suited for weakly-correlated systems, the $T$-matrix approximation does sum ladder diagrams up to infinity and…

Effects of medium polarization are studied for $^1S_0$ pairing in neutron and nuclear matter. The screening potential is calculated in the RPA limit, suitably renormalized to cure the low density mechanical instability of nuclear matter.…
A parquet approximation (generalized ladder diagrams) in matrix models is considered. By means of numerical calculations we demonstrate that in the large $N$ limit the parquet approximation gives an excellent agreement with exact results.
The inner crust of a neutron star is a superfluid and inhomogeneous system, consisting of a lattice of nuclei immersed in a sea of neutrons. We perform a quantum calculation of the associated pairing gap and compare it to the results one…
This chapter provides a review of microscopic theories of pairing in nuclear systems and neutron stars. Special attention is given to the mean-field BCS theory and its extensions to include effects of polarization of the medium and…
Quality of approximations is an important issue in modelling nuclear matter. It is shown that the Pad{\' e} approximation provides a useful tool for describing the symmetry energy in highly asymmetric systems. The focus is on the symmetry…
The QED renormalization is restudied by using a mass-dependent subtraction which is performed at a time-like renormalization point. The subtraction exactly respects necessary physical and mathematical requirements such as the gauge…
A novel Thomas-Fermi (TF) approach to inhomogeneous superfluid Fermi-systems is presented and shown that it works well also in cases where the Local Density Approximation (LDA) breaks down. The novelty lies in the fact that the…
