Popis: We analyze the behavior of thermal fluctuations of the superconducting order parameter with extended s-wave and $${{d}_{{{{x}^{2}} - {{y}^{2}}}}}$$-wave symmetry. For this purpose, we develop a method of self-consistent consideration of the order parameter fluctuations and charge carrier scatterers by fluctuations of coupled electron pairs using the theory of functional integration. The study is performed based on the quasi-two-dimensional one-band model with attraction between electrons located at neighboring sites. We obtain the distribution functions of the phase fluctuation probabilities depending on temperature, charge carrier concentrations, and model parameters. It is shown that the phase of the order parameter in the superconducting region is coherent, and the density of states has a dip at the Fermi level. In approaching the incoherent region of the phase diagram, the dip in the density of states disappears simultaneously with the loss of phase coherence. At the same time, the order parameter amplitude averaged over fluctuations remains finite at any temperature and concentration of charge carriers. Our results show that the pseudogap state cannot be explained in the frames of this scenario.
