Abstract

The present understanding of the structure of the Hoyle state in C12 is reviewed. Most of the theoretical approaches to the Hoyle state are shortly summarized. The corresponding results are analyzed with respect to whether they give evidence to the α-particle condensation structure of the Hoyle state (and other Hoyle-like states in heavier self-conjugate nuclei) or not.
