Abstract

We investigate Fermi gases at finite temperature for which the in-medium effective mass may not be constant as a function of the density, the temperature, or the chemical potential. We suggest a formalism that separates the terms for which the mass is constant from the terms that explicitly treat the correction due to the in-medium effective mass. We employ the ensemble equivalence in infinite matter to treat these different terms. Our formalism is applied in nuclear matter and we show its goodness by comparing it to an exact treatment based on the numerical calculation of the Fermi integrals.
