Flatness of factors of a flat product of bihamiltonian structures

About 27 years old · traced to

Let M1M_{1} and M2M_{2} be manifolds equipped with bihamiltonian structures, and equip M1×M2M_{1}\times M_{2} with their product bihamiltonian structure. Product-flatness conjecture. If M1×M2M_{1}\times M_{2} is flat, then both M1M_{1} and M2M_{2} are flat. The source presents this as an interesting question rather than a resolved result; it would characterize flatness factorwise for products of bihamiltonian structures.
