Abstract
We describe a procedure to construct polynomial in the momenta first integrals of arbitrarily high degree for natural Hamiltonians H obtained as one-dimensional extensions of natural (geodesic) n-dimensional Hamiltonians L. The Liouville integrability of L implies the (minimal) superintegrability of H. We prove that, as a consequence of natural integrability conditions, it is necessary for the construction that the curvature of the metric tensor associated with L is constant. As examples, the procedure is applied to one-dimensional L, including and improving earlier results, and to two and three-dimensional L, providing new superintegrable systems.

Key words: superintegrable Hamiltonian systems; polynomial first integrals; constant curvature; Hessian tensor.
