Abstract: For a scalar evolution equation $u_t=K(t,x,u,u_x,ldots,u_n),ngeq2$ the cohomology spaces $H^{1,s}({mathcalR}^{i}nfty)$ vanishes for $sgeq3$ while the space $H^{1,2}({mathcalR}^{i}nfty)$ is isomorphic to the space of variational operators. The cohomology space $H^{1,2}({mathcalR}^{i}nfty)$ is also shown to be isomorphic to the space of symplectic operators for $u_t=K$ for which the equation is Hamiltonian. Third order scalar evolution equations admitting a first order symplectic (or variational) operator are characterized. The symplectic nature of the potential form of a bi-Hamiltonian evolution equation is also presented.
