| contents | We study existence and nonexistence of diagonal and separating coordinates for Riemannian symmetric spaces of rank 1. We generalize the results of Gauduchon and Moroianu, 2020, by showing that a symmetric space of rank 1 has diagonal coordinates if and only if it has constant sectional curvature. This implies that orthogonal separation of variables on a symmetric space of rank 1 is possible only in the constant sectional curvature case. We show that on the complex projective space $\mathbb{C}P^n$ and on complex hyperbolic space $\mathbb{C}H^n$, with $n\ge 2$, separating coordinates necessarily have precisely $n$ ignorable coordinates.
In view of results of Boyer et al, 1983 and 1985, and later results of Winternitz et al, 1994, this completes the description of separation of variables on $\mathbb{C}P^n$ for all $n$ and on $\mathbb{C}H^n$ for $n=2,3$. |
