Abstract: Increasing tensor powers of the $kimesk$ matrices $M_k(mathbbC)$ are known to give rise to a continuous bundle of $C^{*}$-algebras over $I=0cup1/mathbbNsubset[0,1]$ with fibers $A_{1/N}=M_k(mathbbC{)}^{otimesN}$ and $A_0=C(X_k)$, where $X_k=S(M_k(mathbbC))$, the state space of $M_k(mathbbC)$, which is canonically a compact Poisson manifold (with stratified boundary). Our first result is the existence of a strict deformation quantization of $X_k$ `{a} la Rieffel, defined by perfectly natural quantization maps $Q_{1/N}:ilde{A}_{0}ightarrow{A}_{1/N}$ (where $ilde{A}_0$ is an equally natural dense Poisson subalgebra of $A_0$). We apply this quantization formalism to the Curie--Weiss model (an exemplary quantum spin with long-range forces) in the parameter domain where its $mathbb{Z}_2$ symmetry is spontaneously broken in the thermodynamic limit $Nawinfty$. If this limit is taken with respect to the macroscopic observables of the model (as opposed to the quasi-local observables), it yields a classical theory with phase space $X_{2}cong{B}^3$ (i.e the unit three-ball in $R^3$). Our quantization map then enables us to take the classical limit of the sequence of (unique) algebraic vector states induced by the ground state eigenvectors $Ps{i}_N^{(0)}$ of this model as $Nawinfty$, in which the sequence converges to a probability measure $mu$ on the associated classical phase space $X_2$. This measure is a symmetric convex sum of two Dirac measures related by the underlying $$-symmetry of the model, and as such the classical limit exhibits spontaneous symmetry breaking, too. Our proof of convergence is heavily based on Perelomov-style coherent spin states and at some stage it relies on (quite strong) numerical evidence. Hence the proof is not completely analytic, but somewhat hybrid.
