Null Lagrangians in free Novikov algebras

Rings and Algebras 2026-01-19 v1

Abstract

We study the symmetrization of the Novikov product. Using the embedding of a free Novikov algebra into a differential algebra over a field of characteristic zero and the Euler operators (variational derivatives), we show that the space of null Lagrangians coincides with the subspace of elements closed under the symmetrized product ab=ab+baa\circ b=ab+ba. We also completely describe its module structure over symmetric group.
