Separable quantizations of Stäckel systems (1501.00576v4)

Abstract: In this article we prove that many Hamiltonian systems that can not be separably quantized in the classical approach of Robertson and Eisenhardt can be separably quantized if we extend the class of admissible quantizations through a suitable choice of Riemann space adapted to the Poisson geometry of the system. Actually, in this article we prove that for every quadratic in momenta St\"ackel system (defined on a 2n-dimensional Poisson manifold) for which the St\"ackel matrix consists of monomials in position coordinates there exist infinitely many quantizations - parametrized by n arbitrary functions - that turn this system into a quantum separable St\"ackel system.
