Abstract: We study the geometric properties of complex manifolds possessing a pair of plurisubharmonic functions satisfying Monge-Ampère type of condition. The results are applied to characterize complex manifolds biholomorphic to $$\mathbb{C}^N$$ viewed as a product of lower dimensional complex Euclidean spaces.
