Abstract
The path integtation method is used to obtain the asymptotic behavior of the ratio Z/Z0 for a model of the BCS type (Z is the statistical sum of the model, Z0 is the statistical sum of the free system) in the limit V → ∞. The asymptotic formulas for Z/Z0 are different above and below the transition and are expressed in terms of infinite products. A rigorous proof is obtained for the formulas under the condition of fulfillment of a natural additional assumption.
