We present a generalization of Kruzkov's theory to manifolds. Nonlinear hyperbolic conservation laws are posed on a differential (n+1)-manifold, called a spacetime, and the flux field is defined as a field of n-forms depending on a parameter. The entropy inequalities take a particularly simple form as the exterior derivative of a family of n-form fields. Under a global hyperbolicity condition on the spacetime, which allows arbitrary topology for the spacelike hypersurfaces of the foliation, we establish the existence and uniqueness of an entropy solution to the initial value problem, and we derive a geometric version of the standard L1 semi-group property. We also discuss an alternative framework in which the flux field consists of a parametrized family of vector fields.
