Abstract

We investigate nn-component systems of conservation laws that possess third-order Hamiltonian structures of differential-geometric type. The classification of such systems is reduced to the projective classification of linear congruences of lines in Pn+2\mathbb{P}^{n+2} satisfying additional geometric constraints. Algebraically, the problem can be reformulated as follows: for a vector space WW of dimension n+2n+2, classify nn-tuples of skew-symmetric 2-forms AαΛ2(W)A^{\alpha} \in \Lambda^2(W) such that ϕβγAβAγ=0, \phi_{\beta \gamma}A^{\beta}\wedge A^{\gamma}=0, for some non-degenerate symmetric ϕ\phi.
