Abstract
For the Lie algebra SO(4) (and other six dimensional Lie algebras) we find some Euler's equations which have an additional fourth order integral and are algebraically integrable (in terms of elliptic functions) in a one parameter set of orbits. Integrable Euler's equations having an additional second order integral and generalizing Steklov's case are presented. Equations for rotation of a rigid body havingn ellipsoid cavities filled with the ideal incompressible fluid being in a state of homogeneous vortex motion are derived. It is shown that the obtained equations are Euler's equations for the Lie algebra of the groupG n+1=SO(3) × ... × SO(3). New physical applications of Euler's equations on SO(4) are discussed.
