Abstract: For any second-order scalar PDE $mathcalE$ in one unknown function, that we interpret as a hypersurface of a second-order jet space $J^2$, we construct, by means of the characteristics of $mathcalE$, a sub-bundle of the contact distribution of the underlying contact manifold $J^1$, consisting of conic varieties. We call it the contact cone structure associated with $mathcalE$. We then focus on symplectic Monge-Amp`ere equations in 3 independent variables, that are naturally parametrized by a 13-dimensional real projective space. If we pass to the field of complex numbers $mathbbC$, this projective space turns out to be the projectivization of the 14-dimensional irreducible representation of the simple Lie group $mathsfSp(6,mathbbC)$: the associated moment map allows to define a rational map $varpi$ from the space of symplectic 3D Monge-Amp`ere equations to the projectivization of the space of quadratic forms on a $6$-dimensional symplectic vector space. We study in details the relationship between the zero locus of the image of $varpi$, herewith called the cocharacteristic variety, and the contact cone structure of a 3D Monge-Amp`ere equation $mathcalE$: under the hypothesis of non-degenerate symbol, we prove that these two constructions coincide. A key tool in achieving such a result will be a complete list of mutually non-equivalent quadratic forms on a $6$-dimensional symplectic space, which has an interest on its own.
