    A super-integrable Hamiltonian system on a \(2n\)-dimensional symplectic manifold is called maximally super-integrable if there is a set of \(2n-2\) globally defined functionally independent constants of the motion that Poisson-commutes with the Hamiltonian \(H\). The number of known maximally super-integrable systems is small; it includes the isotropic harmonic oscillator with \(n\) centrifugal terms, the Kepler-Coulomb system with \(n-1\) centrifugal barriers, the Calogero-Moser-Sutherland model, and a few others. Here the authors define a class of systems, they call quasi-maximally super-integrable (QMS) systems having \(2n-3\) integrals with the properties described above. The authors summarize an earlier approach to construct a QMS system on constant curvature \(n\)-dimensional configuration spaces using an \(\text{sl}(2,\mathbb{R})\) Poisson coalgebra symmetry. Then they present a construction on variable curvature spaces via a nonstandard quantum deformation of an \(\text{sl}(2,\mathbb{R})\) Poisson coalgebra.
