Abstract:
We construct separation variables for Yehia's integrable deformations of the Kovalevskaya top and the Chaplygin system on a sphere. In the general case, the corresponding quadratures are given by the Abel–Jacobi map on a two-dimensional submanifold of the Jacobian of a genus-three algebraic curve, which is not hyperelliptic.
Keywords:bi-Hamiltonian geometry, separation of variables, Kovalevskaya top.
