Semiclassical corrections to the large- N limit of Dicke's model.
We use a semiclassical expansion as an alternative derivation of the well-known, rigorous result obtained by Hepp and Lieb for the classical limit of the spin-boson model. We also explicitly derive correction terms to the classical limit previously obtained in the context of Heisenberg equations of motion. We analyze the size and shape of the N (number of atoms) vs t (time) domain whithin which the corrections so obtained are useful.
