Obstruction to a Lenard-Magri recursion

ID: obstruction-to-a-lenard-magri-recursion

The next step of a Lenard-Magri recursion requires to be a Hamiltonian vector field for . It must be tangent to the symplectic leaves, and its contraction with the leaf symplectic form must have a global potential, with a compatible smooth extension between leaves. Even the first step may fail: on , take , and . Both Poisson structures are compatible, but cannot hold, because its left side is zero and its right side is nonzero.
