For a model with many-to-one connectivity it is widely expected that mean-field theory captures the exact many-particle $N\to\infty$ limit, and that higher-order cumulant expansions of the Heisenberg equations converge to this same limit…

Mean field theory is a device to analyze the collective behavior of a dynamical system comprising many interacting particles. The theory allows to reduce the behavior of the system to the properties of a handful of parameters. In neural…
