On spaces of constant curvature, the geodesic equations automatically have higher order integrals, which are just built out of first order integrals, corresponding to the abundance of Killing vectors. This is no longer true for general conformally flat spaces, but in this case there is a large algebra ofconformalsymmetries. In this paper we use these conformal symmetries to build higher order integrals for the geodesic equations. We use this approach to give a new derivation of the Darboux–Koenigs metrics, which have onlyoneKilling vector, but two quadratic integrals. We also consider the case of possessing one Killing vector and twocubicintegrals.The approach allows thequantumanalogue to be constructed in a simpler manner.
