Abstract: The general form of an integral of motion that is a polynomial of order N
in the momenta is presented for a Hamiltonian system in two-dimensional
Euclidean space. The classical and the quantum cases are treated
separately, emphasizing both the similarities and the differences between
the two. The main application will be to study Nth order superintegrable
systems that allow separation of variables in the Hamilton-Jacobi and
Schrodinger equations, respectively. This is joint work with Sarah Post.
