Superintegrable systems, multi-Hamiltonian structures and Nambu mechanics in an arbitrary dimension

A general algebraic condition for the functional independence of 2n - 1 constants of motion of an n-dimensional maximal superintegrable Hamiltonian system has been proved for an arbitrary finite n. This makes it possible to construct, in a well-defined generic way, a normalized Nambu bracket which produces the correct Hamiltonian time evolution. Existence and explicit forms of pairwise compatible multi-Hamiltonian structures for any maximal superintegrable system have been established. The Calogero-Moser system, motion of a charged particle in a uniform perpendicular magnetic field and Smorodinsky-Winternitz potentials are considered as illustrative applications and their symmetry algebras as well as their Nambu formulations and alternative Poisson structures are presented.
