Abstract

We prove a recent conjecture of Dragovic et al arXiv2504.20515 stating that the magnetic geodesic flow on the standard sphere SnRn+1S^n\subset \mathbb R^{n+1} whose magnetic 2-form is the restriction of a constant 2-form from Rn+1\mathbb{R}^{n+1} is Liouville integrable. The integrals are quadratic and linear in momenta.
