Integrable geodesic flow in 3D and webs of maximal rank

Differential Geometry 2024-03-05 v1

Abstract

We characterize geodesic flows, admitting two commuting quadratic integrals with common principal directions, in terms of the geodesic 4-webs such that the tangents to the web leaves are common zero directions of the integrals. We prove that, under some natural geometric hypothesis, the metric is of St\"ackel type.
