A general analysis of special classes of symmetric two-tensors on Riemannian manifolds is provided. These tensors arise in connection with special topics in differential geometry and analytical mechanics: geodesic equivalence, separation of variables. It is shown that they play an inportant role in the theory of correspondent dynamical systems of Levi-Civita.
