Abstract: (Elsevier)
Coherent states of the commutation relations, like highest weight vectors for compact semi-simple Lie groups, satisfy quadratic equations. This paper explores the situation for quadratic varieties of vectors in some other infinite-dimensional representations, the tau functions for loop groups providing one example. Other generalisations are discussed.
