I realized that he did a few numbers with Paul, but why, for the most part, did the former Beatles not continue to work with George Martin? I am especially curious as to why he did not work with John--I know that he and Harrison did not necessarily have the best relationship.

G'day Throwdini,
Thank you for your question.
He produced Ringo's "Sentimental Journey" in 1970. I suspect that Lennon didn't want to work with someone too closely associated with McCartney in the 1970s. As well he wanted to distance himself from the Beatles Years by moving to the United States. Lennon didn't record for five years before "Double Fantasy" and then was assassinated. For his part, Martin was no longer associated with EMI and wanted to work with other artists.
I have attached sources for your reference.

George Martin is best known as the producer of most of the Beatles' recordings from 1962 through 1969.
he continued to produce the Beatles' music through 1969 and the release of Abbey Road, though he found it impossible to work with them on the project that became known as Let It Be, which was ultimately produced by Phil Spector (and is usually regarded as one of the group's weakest creations).
His relationship with the Beatles after their breakup was limited -- John Lennon and George Harrison used other producers as soon as the group was defunct, but Ringo Starr chose Martin to work on his album of '30s pop standards, Sentimental Journey, and Paul McCartney reunited with Martin to work on the soundtrack Live and Let Die from the James Bond movie.
