Geodesic compatibility: Goldfish systems

Abstract: To capture a multidimensional consistency feature of integrable systems in terms of the geometry, we give a condition called \emph{geodesic compatibility} that implies the existence of integrals in involution of the geodesic flow. The geodesic compatibility condition is constructed from a concrete example namely the integrable Calogero's Goldfish system through the Poisson structure and the variational principle. The geometrical view of the geodesic compatibility gives a compatible parallel transport between two different Hamiltonian vector fields.
