Casimir-family criterion for generic Kronecker bihamiltonian structures

About 27 years old · traced to

Let MM be a manifold with compatible Poisson structures {,}1\{,\}_{1} and {,}2\{,\}_{2}. Let LL be a finite set with rr elements, and let Fl,λF_{l,\lambda}, for l∈Ll\in L and λ∈C\lambda\in\Bbb C, be smooth functions on MM that are Casimirs of λ{,}1+{,}2\lambda\{,\}_{1}+\{,\}_{2}. Suppose

Fl,λ(m)=∑k=0dlfl,k(m)λk.F_{l,\lambda}(m)=\sum_{k=0}^{d_l}f_{l,k}(m)\lambda^k.

For m∈Mm\in M, let W1(m)⊂Tm∗MW_1(m)\subset T_m^*M be spanned by the differentials dfl,k∣mdf_{l,k}|_m. If, at m0∈Mm_0\in M, dim⁡W1(m0)≥(dim⁡M+r)/2\dim W_1(m_0)\geq(\dim M+r)/2, if some combination λ1{,}1+λ2{,}2\lambda_1\{,\}_1+\lambda_2\{,\}_2 has at most rr independent Casimir functions near m0m_0, and if ∑l∈L(2dl+1)≤dim⁡M\sum_{l\in L}(2d_l+1)\leq\dim M, then dim⁡M−r\dim M-r is even, dim⁡W1(m0)=(dim⁡M+r)/2\dim W_1(m_0)=(\dim M+r)/2, 2∑l∈Ldl+r=dim⁡M2\sum_{l\in L}d_l+r=\dim M, and the bihamiltonian structure is Kronecker of type (2d1+1,…,2dr+1)\left(2d_1+1,\dots,2d_r+1\right) on an open subset U⊂MU\subset M whose closure contains m0m_0. Casimir-family criterion conjecture. Under these hypotheses, all the stated conclusions hold. The criterion would characterize Kronecker structures through the mutual position of Casimir functions for linear combinations of the two Poisson brackets. The source gives no resolution.
