Completely integrable bi-Hamiltonian systems

We study the geometry of completely integrable bi-Hamiltonian systems and, in particular, the existence of a bi-Hamiltonian structure for a completely integrable Hamiltonian system. We show that under some natural hypothesis, such a structure exists in a neighborhood of an invariant torus if, and only if, the graph of the Hamiltonian function is a hypersurface of translation, relative to the affine structure determined by the action variables. This generalizes a result of Brouzet for dimension four.
