We prove complete integrability of the Manakov-type SO(n)-invariant geodesic flows on homogeneous spaces $SO(n)/SO(k_1)\times...\times SO(k_r)$, for any choice of $k_1,...,k_r$, $k_1+...+k_r\le n$. In particular, a new proof of the…

We consider a class of topological objects in the 3-sphere $S^3$ which will be called $n$-punctured ball tangles. Using the Kauffman bracket at $A=e^{i \pi/4}$, an invariant for a special type of $n$-punctured ball tangles is defined. The…
