“…Theorem 1.5 ( [13,45]). On a Riemannian manifold, there is a bijective correspondence between orthogonal separation coordinates and Stäckel systems.…”
Abstract. Integrable Killing tensors are used to classify orthogonal coordinates in which the classical Hamilton-Jacobi equation can be solved by a separation of variables. We completely solve the Nijenhuis integrability conditions for Killing tensors on the sphere S 3 and give a set of isometry invariants for the integrability of a Killing tensor. We describe explicitly the space of solutions as well as its quotient under isometries as projective varieties and interpret their algebro-geometric properties in terms of Killing tensors. Furthermore, we identify all Stäckel systems in these varieties. This allows us to recover the known list of separation coordinates on S 3 in a simple and purely algebraic way. In particular, we prove that their moduli space is homeomorphic to the associahedron K 4 .

“…The motivation starts with the following observation: The classical approach to finding the relevant integrals was based on solving the Hamilton-Jacobi equation by separation of variables (Stackel [19], Jacobi [6]). This required the appropriate choice of variables and computational skill.…”
“…Stäckel [14] formulated a necessary and sufficient condition for separability of natural Hamiltonians. Levi-Civita [10] found a system of equations to be satisfied by any separable Hamiltonian.…”

“…The classical algebraic condition for an orthogonal coordinate system to be separable is that the metric is in Stäckel form [14]. An equivalent condition is that the metric satisfies a certain system of PDEs given by Levi-Civita [10].…”
In [15] we have proved a 1-1 correspondence between all separable coordinates on R n (according to Kalnins and Miller [9]) and systems of linear PDEs for separable potentials V (q). These PDEs, after introducing parameters reflecting the freedom of choice of Euclidean reference frame, serve as an effective criterion of separability. This means that any V (q) satisfying these PDEs is separable and that the separation coordinates can be determined explicitly. We apply this criterion to Calogero systems of particles interacting with each other along a line.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
