Abstract
Coherent states for an arbitrary Lie group G are defined and their properties enumerated. These properties lead to a simple algorithm for studying the thermodynamic critical properties of Hamiltonians constructed from the generators of G. The algorithm is:
Replace H by its “classical limit” and add an entropy term — kTs(r).Determine how the minima of the resulting function change as a function of T.
