Liouville type theorem and kinetic formulation for 2x2 systems of conservation laws

We study ${\mathbf{L}}^{\mathrm{\infty }}$ entropy solutions to $2\times 2$ systems of conservation laws. We show that, if a uniformly convex entropy exists, these solutions satisfy a pair of kinetic equations (nonlocal in velocity), which are then shown to characterize all solutions with finite entropy production. Next, we prove a Liouville-type theorem for genuinely nonlinear systems, which is the main result of the paper. This implies in particular that for every finite entropy solution, every point $(t,x)\in {\mathbb{R}}^{+}\times \mathbb{R}\setminus \text{br}J$ is of vanishing mean oscillation, where $\text{br}J\subset {\mathbb{R}}^{+}\times \mathbb{R}$ is a set of Hausdorff dimension at most 1.
