The functional $\langle \cdot\rangle_N$ denotes the expectation in the canonical ensamble of particle number $N$. So the grand canonical expectation value $\langle \cdot\rangle$ takes sequences of observables to a real. | The functional $\langle \cdot\rangle_N$ denotes the expectation in the canonical ensamble of particle number $N$.

We adopt the names of observables in canonical ensamble for the grand canonical ensamble. For example, if the internal energy in the canonical ensamble is defined as $U=\langle H\rangle$, then the grand canonical expectation value of the energy is denoted by $U$ as well and if formed from the sequence of all the $N$-particle Hamiltonians $H_N$. | We adopt the names of observables in canonical ensamble for the grand canonical ensamble.
