The commutativity principle and lagrangian symmetries

High Energy Physics - Theory 2007-05-23 v1

Abstract

Using the commutativity of a general variation with the time differentiation we discuss both global and local (gauge) symmetries of a lagrangian from a unified point of view. The Noether considerations are thereby applicable for both cases. A complete equivalence between the hamiltonian and lagrangian formulations is established.
