The immobility of the center of mass in spaces of constant curvature is postulated based on its definition obtained in [1]. The system of two particles which interact through a potential depending only on the distance between particles on a three-dimensional sphere is considered. The Hamilton-Jacobi equation is formulated and its solutions and trajectory equations are found. It was established that the reduced mass of the system depends on the relative distance.

In this paper, based on the definition of the center of mass given in [1, 2], its immobility is postulated in spaces with a constant curvature, and the problem of two particles with an internal interaction, described by a potential depending on the distance between points on a three-dimensional sphere, is considered. This approach, justified by the absence of a principle similar to the Galileo principle on the one hand and the property of isotropy of space on the other, allows us to consider the problem in the map system for the center of mass. It automatically ensures dependence only on the relative variables of the considered points. The Hamilton – Jacobi equation of the problem is formulated, its solutions and the equations of trajectories are found. It is shown that the reduced mass of the system depends on the relative distance. Given this circumstance, a modified system metric is written out.

A complete classification of space-time models is presented, which admit the privileged coordinate systems, where the Hamilton–Jacobi equation for a test particle is integrated by the method of complete separation of variables with separation of the isotropic (wave) variable, on which the metric depends (wave-like Shapovalov spaces). For all types of Shapovalov spaces, exact solutions of the Einstein equations with a cosmological constant in vacuum are found. Complete integrals are presented for the eikonal equation and the Hamilton–Jacobi equation of motion of test particles.

All electromagnetic potentials and space–time metrics of Stäckel spaces of type (2.0) in which the Hamilton–Jacobi equation for a charged test particle can be integrated by the method of complete separation of variables are found. Complete sets of motion integrals, as well as complete sets of killing vector and tensor fields, are constructed. The results can be used when studying solutions of field equations in the theory of gravity.
