Abstract

We construct explicitly the constants of motion for geodesics in the 55-dimensional Sasaki-Einstein spaces Yp,qY^{p,q}. To carry out this task we use the knowledge of the complete set of Killing vectors and Killing-Yano tensors on these spaces. In spite of the fact that we generate a multitude of constants of motion, only five of them are functionally independent implying the complete integrability of geodesic flow on Yp,qY^{p,q} spaces. In the particular case of the homogeneous Sasaki-Einstein manifold T1,1T^{1,1} the integrals of motion have simpler forms and the relations between them are described in detail.
