Tensor Invariants of the Poisson Brackets of Hydrodynamic Type

Form-invariant solutions for the Poisson brackets of hydrodynamic type on a manifold M ⁿ with (2,0)-tensor g ^ij (u) of rank m ≤ n are derived. Tensor invariants of the Poisson brackets are introduced that include a vector field V (or dynamical system V) on M ⁿ , the Lie derivative L _V g ^ij and symmetric (k, 0)-tensors . Several scalar invariants of the Poisson brackets are defined. A nilpotent Lie algebra structure is disclosed in the space of 1-forms that annihilate the (2,0)-tensor g ^ij (u). Applications to the one-dimensional gas dynamics are presented.
