All closed orbits in semiclassical model
I'm studying from "Solid State Physics" by Ashcroft-Mermin. In particular, in chapter 12 it talks about the semiclassical model and tries to reason about the Hall effect in the limiting case ...

Is current density independent of applied fields for Bloch electrons?
Following Ashcroft-Mermin chapter 12 the semiclassical dynamics is governed by
$
\dot{\vec{r}} = \vec{v}_n(\vec{k}) = \frac{1}{\hbar}\frac{\partial \epsilon_n(\vec{k})}{\partial \vec{k}}
$
and
$
\hbar ...
