r, again. There are lots of narrower problems that can be posed, but there are issues of general import. What was very special, maybe unique, about Hilbert in 1900 was the advances in the field had reached the point so that questions had that miraculous combination of being (1) potentially within reach

. Open questions abound. The problem is finding ones that are within possible reach and are not so technical that larger consequences are obscure. Hilbert could do it after many years of substantial progress in a well-defined area. I don't know if anyone's tried even in physics. From: jeffrey E. [mail

In the coherent state approach to the classical limit, the symplectic 2-form associated to the classical dynamics clearly depends on t
