Starting from the equation of state for a non-relativistic Fermi gas the author describes the equilibrium state of stars whereby the equation of state is generalized to the relativistic case for the description of white dwarfs. Then the evolution of massive stars is described in this framework regarding the thermonuclear burning phase, the gravitational collapse, the neutronization, and the neutrino diffusion. Then the equation of state of supernova matter and the cooling of neutron stars are considered. The author concludes that this approach is somewhat oversimplified in the case of neutron stars, while it is very useful in the case of white dwarfs, where residual interactions can be neglected.
