A momentum space, mean field d-density wave (DDW) Hamiltonian is investigated self-consistently. The pseudo-gapped(PG)state of YBCO is assumed to correspond to the pure DDW state. A relation between thermodynamic potential of the system and certain spectral weight functions is established. This yields an expression for entropy in DDW state in the absence of magnetic field. The relation is useful for deriving finite temperature thermodynamics of the system. We show that the PG transition is a first order one and the entropy per unit cell increases in this state. We also analyze the fermion occupancy, in the presence of magnetic field, at the anti-nodal points of the Fermi surface to estimate the frequency of quantum oscillations.
