Abstract: We use an isomorphism between the space of valence two Killing tensors on an n-dimensional constant sectional curvature manifold and the irreducible GL(n+1)-representation space of algebraic curvature tensors in order to translate the Nijenhuis integrability conditions for a Killing tensor into purely algebraic integrability conditions for the corresponding algebraic curvature tensor, resulting in two simple algebraic equations of degree two and three. As a first application of this we construct a new family of integrable Killing tensors.
