Abstract

We show that quadratic Hamiltonians in involution coming from a St\"ackel system are quantizable, in the sense that one can construct commutative self-adjoint operators whose symbols are the quadratic Hamiltonians. Moreover, they allow multiplicative separation of variables. This proves a conjecture explicitly formulated in [3].
