Quadrics on Riemannian spaces of constant curvature. Separation of variables and connection with the Gaudin magnet

Integrable systems associated with separation of the variables in real Riemannian spaces of constant curvature are considered. An isomorphism between all such systems and the hyperbolic Gaudin magnet is established. This isomorphism is used in a classification of all coordinate systems that admit separation of the variables, the basis of which is the classification of the correspondingL operators of the Gaudin magnet.Leningrad State University.
