Coherent states and infinite-dimensional lie algebras: An outlook

Summary The possible extension of the notion of generalized coherent state to the case of infinite-dimesional affine Lie algebras is discussed with special attention to the resulting topological structure of the coherent states manifold, and to its connection with the structure of the algebra. The relevance for the solution of nonlinear dynamical systems equations of motion is briefly reviewed. To speed up publication, the authors have agreed not to receive proofs which have been supervised by the Scientific Committee.
