Abstract

We describe a procedure to construct polynomial in the momenta first integrals of arbitrarily high degree for natural Hamiltonians obtained as one-dimensional extensions of natural (geodesic) -dimensional Hamiltonians . The Liouville integrability of implies the (minimal) superintegrability of . We prove that, as a consequence of natural integrability conditions, it is necessary for the construction that the curvature of the metric tensor associated with is constant. As examples, the procedure is applied to one-dimensional , including and improving earlier results, and to two and three-dimensional , providing new superintegrable systems.

Theorem 1, Lemmas 1 and 2, Example 2 are corrected
