Abstract

We describe a method for constructing nn-orthogonal coordinate systems in constant curvature spaces. The construction proposed is a modification of Krichever's method for producing orthogonal curvilinear coordinate systems in the nn-dimensional Euclidean space. To demonstrate how this method works, we construct examples of orthogonal coordinate systems on the two-dimensional sphere and the hyperbolic plane, in the case when the spectral curve is reducible and all irreducible components are isomorphic to a complex projective line.
