The Variety of Integrable Killing Tensors on the 3-Sphere

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 S³ and give a set of isometry invariants for...

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 S³ 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 S³ in a simple and purely algebraic way. In particular, we prove that their moduli space is homeomorphic to the associahedron K₄.
I would like to express my gratitude to Robert Milson for his motivation and the inspiring discussions about my findings. I would also like to thank Alexander P. Veselov for pointing out the link between my solution and moduli spaces of stable curves. Finally, I would like to thank the anonymous referees, who helped to improve the paper considerably with their comments and additional references.

We completely solve the Nijenhuis integrability conditions for Killing tensors on the sphere S³ 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 S³ in a simple and purely algebraic way.
