In this contribution I summarize the achievements of separation of variables in integrable quantum systems from the point of view of path integrals. This includes the free motion on homogeneous spaces, and motion subject to a potential force, and I would like to propose systematic investigations of parametric coordinate systems on homogeneous spaces.
In this Letter I present an alternative solution of the path integral for the radial Coulomb problem which is based on a two-dimensional singular version of the Levi-Civita transformation.
Path integral formulations for the Smorodinsky-Winternitz potentials in two- and three-dimen\-sional Euclidean space are presented. We mention all coordinate systems which separate the Smorodinsky-Winternitz potentials and state the corresponding path integral formulations. Whereas in many coordinate systems an explicit path integral formulation is not possible, we list in all soluble cases the path integral evaluations explicitly in terms of the propagators and the spectral expansions into the wave-functions.
