The maximal Abelian subalgebras (MASAs) of the Euclidean and pseudo-euclidean Lie algebras are classified into conjugacy classes under the action of the corresponding Lie groups and , and also under the conformal groups and , respectively. The results are presented in terms of decomposition theorems. For orthogonally indecomposable MASAs exist only for p = 1 and p = 2. For , on the other hand, orthogonally indecomposable MASAs exist for all values of p. The results are used to construct new coordinate systems in which wave equations and Hamilton-Jacobi equations allow the separation of variables.
