The paper summarizes the author's research of conservation laws of dimension \(q < n-1\) associated with a system \(E = 0\) of nonlinear PDE in dimension \(n\). Established is an isomorphism between the group \(\text{ CL}^q E\) of \(q\)-dimensional conservation laws and the cohomology \(H^{q+2}\text{ DI}_E\) of the complex of ``differential identities.'' Examples (Cauchy-Riemann system in complex dimension \(> 1\), Yang-Mills equations in 2-dimensional space-time) demonstrate that \(\text{ CL}^q E\) may be nonzero for \(q < n-1\). The rest of the paper is devoted to evolution systems with static constraints. A sequence intertwining conservation laws of the full system and the constraints subsystem is presented. Proofs are to be found in earlier works by the same author. For a nonlinear overdetermined system, the complex \(\text{ DI}_E\) reflects its primary integrability conditions. A simple relation between low-dimensional conservation laws and higher level integrability conditions is given by the Tsujishita isomorphism between \(\text{ CL}^q E\) and the cohomology of the dual complex of the Janet sequence [Differ. Geom. Appl. 1, 3-34 (1991; Zbl 0722.58036)]. For the entire collection see [Zbl 0833.00014].
