Abstract
We continue the discussion of a bipolaronic superconductor (resp. an anisotropic antiferromagnet in quasispin formulation) as formulated in a previous work, based on a quantum-statistical, microscopic mean-field model. The grand-canonical thermodynamic limit is compared with the canonical thermodynamic limit in terms of a net of perturbations, becoming singular in the infinite lattice limit. A generalized thermostatistical framework is elaborated which covers model potentials with infinite parts. The function of the limiting free energy density in selecting the (stable) phases with broken symmetry is graphically illustrated. The phase diagrams for the two types of ensembles are shown to differ in the region where both the gauge symmetry and the invariance under sublattice exchange are broken. In particular, the type of the phase transitions, the order of the critical points, and the shape of some phase boundaries are found to depend on the ensemble, which clarifies certain controversial topics for these models. The uniqueness of the limiting Gibbs states with free boundary conditions in all thermodynamic phase regions is proved, and their decomposition into pure phase states in terms of a symmetric measure is evaluated. The field operators of the condensed particles are determined in the representations over the limiting Gibbs states.
