Superintegrable Models on Riemannian Surfaces of Revolution with Integrals of any Integer Degree (I)

We present a family of superintegrable (SI) systems which live on a Riemannian surface of revolution and which exhibit one linear integral and two integrals of any integer degree larger or equal to 2 in the momenta. When this degree is 2, one recovers a metric due to Koenigs. The local structure of these systems is under control of a $\it linear$ ordinary differential equation of order $n$ which is homogeneous for even integrals and weakly inhomogeneous for odd integrals. The form of the integrals is explicitly given in the so-called “simple” case (see Definition 2). Some globally defined examples are worked out which live either in $\mathbb{H}^2$ or in $\mathbb{R}^2$.
