We study the geometry of multidimensional scalar order PDEs (i.e. PDEs with independent variables), viewed as hypersurfaces in the Lagrangian Grassmann bundle over a -dimensional contact manifold . We develop the theory of characteristics of in terms of contact geometry and of the geometry of Lagrangian Grassmannian and study their relationship with intermediate integrals of . After specializing such results to general Monge-Ampère...
