Geometric Poisson brackets on Grassmannians and conformal spheres

We relate the geometric Poisson brackets on the 2-Grassmannian in ⁴ and on the (2, 2) Mbius sphere. We show that, when written in terms of local moving frames, the geometric Poisson bracket on the Mbius sphere does not restrict to the space of differential invariants of Schwarzian type. But when the concept of conformal natural frame is transported from the conformal sphere into the Grassmannian, and the Poisson bracket is written in terms of the Grassmannian natural frame, it restricts and results in either a decoupled system or a complexly coupled system of Korteweg-de Vries (KdV) equations, depending on the character of the invariants. We also show that the bi-Hamiltonian Grassmannian geometric brackets are equivalent to the non-commutative KdV bi-Hamiltonian structure. Both integrable systems and Hamiltonian structure can be brought back to the conformal sphere.
