Then we consider the quantisation problem of the set of Hamiltonians pertaining to the problem, quite naturally called Bending Hamiltonians, and prove that their commutativity is preserved at the quantum level. %B Czechoslovak Journal of Physics 56 (2006), n. 10-11, 1143-1148 %G en_US %U http://hdl.handle.net/1963/2537 %1 1582 %2 Mathematics %3 Mathematical Physics %$ Submitted by Andrea Wehrenfennig (andreaw@sissa.it) on 2007-12-19T10:53:01Z\\nNo. of bitstreams: 1\\n0610003v1.pdf: 113471 bytes, checksum: 34a8a67eda45bff5d2e70aaa0c1edf65 (MD5) %R 10.1007/s10582-006-0415-9
