Quadratic Killing tensors on symmetric spaces which are not generated by Killing vector fields by Matveev, Vladimir S., Nikolayevsky, Yuri

“…This fact led to the natural question on whether this property is shared by Killing tensor fields on all Riemannian symmetric spaces. We answer this question in the negative by constructing explicit examples of quadratic Killing tensor fields which are not quadratic forms in the Killing vector fields on the quaternionic projective spaces $\mathbb{H} P^n, \, n \ge 3$, and on the Cayley projective plane $\mathbb{O} P^2$.…”
