Abstract: The multi-centre metrics are a family of euclidean solutions of the empty space Einstein equations with self-dual curvature. For this full class, we determine which metrics do exhibit an extra conserved quantity quadratic in the momenta, induced by a Killing-St" ackel tensor. Our systematic approach brings to light a subclass of metrics which correspond to new classically integrable dynamical systems. Within this subclass we analyze on the one hand the separation of coordinates in the Hamilton-Jacobi equation and on the other hand the construction of some new Killing-Yano tensors.

Review text

The multi-center metrics are Euclidean solutions of the empty space Einstein equations with self-dual curvature. Examples are the Taub-NUT and Eguchi-Hanson metrics. The author determines multi-center metrics having an additional conserved quantity, quadratic in the momenta, and induced by a Killing-Stäckel tensor. The approach results in a discovery of a subclass of metrics which correspond to new classically integrable dynamical systems. Their properties are studied.
