Given a n-dimensional Riemannian manifold of arbitrary signature, we illustrate an algebraic method for constructing the coordinate webs separating the geodesic Hamilton- Jacobi equation by means of the eigenvalues of m n Killing two-tensors. Moreover, from the analysis of the eigenvalues, information about the possible symmetries of the web folia- tions arises. Three cases are examined: the orthogonal separation, the general separation, including non-orthogonal and isotropic coordinates, and…
