Abstract

Given a (m2)(m-2)-form \zw\zw and a volume form \zW\zW on a mm-manifold one defines a bi-vector \zL\zL by setting \zL(\za,\zb)=\za\zex\zb\zex\zw\zW\zL(\za,\zb)={\frac {\za\zex\zb\zex\zw} {\zW}} for any 11-forms \za,\zb\za,\zb. In this way, locally, a Poisson pair, or bi-Hamiltonian structure, (\zL,\zL1)(\zL,\zL_1 ) is always represented by a couple of (m2)(m-2)-forms \zw,\zw1\zw,\zw_1 and a volume form \zW\zW. Here one shows that, for m\zmai5m\zmai 5 and odd and (\zL,\zL1)(\zL,\zL_1 ) generic, (\zL,\zL1)(\zL,\zL_1 ) is flat if and only if there exists a 11-form \zl\zl such that d\zw=\zl\zex\zwd\zw=\zl\zex\zw and d\zw1=\zl\zex\zw1d\zw_1 =\zl\zex\zw_1.
