Abstract: In this paper we describe a family of compatible Poisson structures defined on the space of coframes (or differential invariants) of curves in flat homogeneous spaces of the form where is semisimple. This includes Euclidean, affine, special affine, Lorentz, and symplectic geometries. We also give conditions on geometric evolutions of curves in the manifold so that the induced evolution on their differential invariants is Hamiltonian with respect to our main Hamiltonian bracket.
