Abstract:
Starting from the notion of discriminantly separable polynomials of
degree two in each of three variables, we construct a class of
integrable dynamical systems. These systems can be integrated
explicitly in genus two theta-functions in a procedure which is
similar to the classical one for the Kowalevski top. The
discriminantly separable polynomials play the role of the Kowalevski
fundamental equation. Natural examples include the Sokolov
systems and the Jurdjevic elasticae.
