In this thesis a self-consistent and conserving theory for the thermodynamics of an attractive, twocomponent
Fermi gas near a Feshbach resonance is presented.
In order to cover both normal and super-fluid phase we extend the many-body formalism developed by Luttinger and Ward and by DeDominicis and Martin. Employing a ladder approximation to treat the formation of pairs at low densities, the resulting self-consistent integral equations for the normal and anomalous Green functions are solved numerically for arbitrary coupling.
The critical temperature, the equation of state and the entropy are determined as a function of the dimensionless parameter 1=kFa, which controls the crossover from the BCS-regime of extended pairs to the BEC-regime of tightly bound molecules.
