The purpose and motivation of these lectures can be summarized in
the following two questions: * What is the ground state (and its
properties) of dense matter? * What is the matter composition of a
compact star? The two questions are, of course, strongly coupled to
each other. Depending on your point of view, you can either
consider the ?rst as the main question and the second as a
consequence or application of the ?rst, or vice versa. If you are
interested in fundamental questions in particle physics you may
take the former point of view: you ask the question what happens to
matter if you squeeze it more and more. This leads to fundamental
questions because at some level of suf?cient squeezing you expect
to reach the point where the fundamental degrees of freedom and
their interactions become important. That is, at some point you
will reach a form of matter where not molecules or atoms, but the
constituents of an atom, namely neutrons, protons, and electrons,
are the relevant degrees of freedom.
