Semi-splitting conjecture for symplectic fibre bundles over spheres

Let (M,ω)(M,\omega) and (N,η)(N,\eta) be compact symplectic manifolds. Let (E,π,i)(E,\pi,i) be a smooth fibre bundle over SdS^d with fibre M×NM \times N, such that

i:H(E)H(M×N)i^*:H^*(E) \longrightarrow H^*(M \times N)

is surjective. Assume that for all sufficiently large λ\lambda there is a fibrewise symplectic structure Ω(λ)\Omega^{(\lambda)} on EE satisfying

i(Ω(λ))=λ(ω×1)+1×η.i^*(\Omega^{(\lambda)})=\lambda(\omega\times 1)+1\times\eta.

Semi-splitting conjecture. The deformation of H(M×N)H^*(M \times N) determined by H(E)H^*(E) is semi-split with respect to H(M)H^*(M). This conjecture proposes a general cohomological splitting principle for symplectic fibre bundles, extending the preceding semi-splitting result. Its resolution is not supplied in the source context.
