Noether conservation laws in higher-dimensional Chern-Simons theory

Mathematical Physics 2009-11-10 v1 math.MP

Abstract

Though a global Chern-Simons (2k-1)-form is not gauge invariant, this form seen as a Lagrangian of higher-dimensional gauge theory leads to the conservation law of a modified Noether current.
