Systems of Kowalevski type and discriminantly separable polynomials (Q2513960): Difference between revisions

A famous integrable case of the rigid body motion around a fixed point is the Kowalevski top. There is a large literature dedicated to understanding Kowalevski's original integration procedure. In a recent paper by one of the authors, a new approach to the Kowalevski integration procedure has been suggested. Its novelty lies in the introduction of the new notion of discriminantly separable polynomials. Here, it is shown that by using discriminantly separable polynomials of degree two in each of three base variables of the problem, it is possible to construct a class of integrable dynamical systems so that all main steps of the Kowalevski's integration procedure follow as easy and transparent logical consequences. Some new examples are discussed.
