Scientific paper

Some of the recent developments in the statistical theory of high-density plasmas are reviewed. An application of the density functional formalism is described which leads to a systematic improvement over the hypernetted chain approximation within a self-contained framework of the plasma theory. A simple, analytic formula for the dielectric function of the strongly coupled, degenerate electron liquids is presented which satisfies a number of self-consistency conditions and which accurately reproduces recent Monte Carlo results as well as those of the latest microscopic calculations. Some problems associated with the electron-ion interaction in high-density plasmas are addressed. Corrections to the thermodynamic functions, the electric resistivity, the plasmon linewidth, and the frequency shift are calculated.
