Splitting 3-plane sub-bundles over the product of two real projective spaces

Let α be a real vector bundle of fiber dimension three over the product RP(m)×RP(n) which splits as a Whitney sum of line bundles. We show that the necessary and sufficient conditions for α to embed as a sub-bundle of a certain family of vector bundles β of fiber dimension m+n is the vanishing of the la...
