Dense Matter Equation of State

The equation of state of dense matter is of crucial importance for the description of the static and dynamical properties of neutron stars. In this talk I will review the current status of the hadronic equation of state for neutron stars, from the point of both ab-initio many-body approaches and phenomenological models, paying special attention to the role of strange hadrons, the so-called hyperons. The theoretical predictions for the hadronic equation of state will be then compared to the data coming from both nuclear physics experiments and astrophysical observations, providing insights for future investigations.
