Holstein-Primakoff theory for many-body systems

Journal Article · · Phys. Rev. B: Condens. Matter; (United States)
We discuss the relationship between generalized coherent states and suitable extensions of the Holstein-Primakoff theory of quantum spin systems, illustrating the common origin of a variety of semiclassical approximation schemes encountered in many-body theory.
