Abstract
We investigate the relation between the binding energy
and the Fermi energy and between different expressions for the
pressure in cold nuclear matter.
For a self-consistent
calculation based on a 
derivable T-matrix approximation with
off-shell propagators, the thermodynamic relations are well satisfied unlike
for a G-matrix or a T-matrix approach using quasi-particle propagators
in the ladder diagrams.
