Abstract

In answer to the replies of Reslen et al [arXiv: quant-ph/0507164 (2005)], and Liberti and Zaffino [arXiv:cond-mat/0507019, (2005)], we comment once more on the temperature-dependent effective Hamiltonians for the Dicke model derived by them in [Europhys. Lett., 69 (2005) 8] and [Eur. Phys. J., 44 (2005) 535], respectively. These approximate Hamiltonians cannot be correct for any finite nonzero temperature because they both violate a rigorous result. The fact that the Dicke model belongs to the universality class of, and its thermodynamics is described by the infinitely coordinated transverse-field XY model is known for more than 30 years.
