Is there a Riemannian metric on $\mathbb{R}^{2}=\mathbb{R} \times \mathbb{R}$ which is not conformalyconformally equivalent to a product metric?
More generally, assume that $M$ and $N$ are two manifolds. What obstructions are existedthere for a
metric $g$ on $M \times N$, to bebe conformally equivalent to a product metric for metrics
$g_{1}$ and $g_{2}$ on $M$ and $N$, respectively?
