Summary
The aim of this paper is to outline a mathematical scheme for the description of the overall behaviour of infinite nuclear matter: it has been conceived with the pragmatic purpose of providing simple tools for carrying out realistic numerical calculations. To this end we shall revive some insufficiently explored aspects of vintage theories, which seem to have been by-passed by recent theoretical developments.
Riassunto
Scopo di questa nota è di delineare uno schema matematico per la descrizione del comportamento globale della materia nucleare infinita. Esso è stato concepito con lo scopo pragmatico di fornire un semplice strumento analitico per eseguire calcoli numerici attendibili. A questo scopo sono stati anche riesaminati alcuni aspetti finora insufficientemente esplorati di ben note teorie che sembrano essere del tutto ignorate dai piú recenti sviluppi teorici.
Резюме
