Abstract: (Elsevier)
We study the large- N behavior of SP( N ) invariant quantum mechanical matrix models. We establish a saddle-point method through the standard collective field technique and find that it produces the correct large- N behavior. We exhibit, therefore, the semiclassical origin at the large- N limit in this model.
