Stäckel Equivalence of Non-Degenerate Superintegrable Systems, and Invariant Quadrics

Abstract

A non-degenerate second-order maximally conformally superintegrable system in dimension 2 naturally gives rise to a quadric with position-dependent coefficients. It is shown how the system's Stäckel class can be obtained from this associated quadric. The Stäckel class of a second-order maximally conformally superintegrable system is its equivalence class under Stäckel transformations, i.e., under coupling-constant metamorphosis.
