Bohr-Sommerfeld quantization of pseudospin Hamiltonians
Description
It is shown here how to map the problem with pseudospin J into an equivalent one in which 1/J plays the role of h and canonical variables exist at the classical level. Bohr-Sommerfeld quantization of the equivalent theory is found to produce a spectrum in very good agreement with the exact results for the Lipkin-Meshkov-Glick model at J=15 and 25. The method readily extends to the SU(n) case
