The aim of this note is to discuss the relation between one-parameter continuous symmetries of the dynamics, defined on physical grounds, and conservation laws. In the Hamiltonian formulation, such symmetries of the dynamics in general…
Local symmetry transformations play an important role for establishing the existence and form of a conserved (Noether) current in systems with a global continuous symmetry. We explain how this fact leads to the existence of linear relations…

New Lagrangians, depending on the field strengths and the electric and magnetic sources are found, which lead to the Maxwell equations. One new feature is that the equations of motion are obtained by varying the Lagrangian with respect to…
We introduce a new class of nonlocal nonlinear conservation laws in one space dimension that allow for nonlocal interactions over a finite horizon. The proposed model, which we refer to as the nonlocal pair interaction model, inherits at…

Discussed are field-theoretic models with degrees of freedom described by the $n$-leg field in an $n$-dimensional "space-time" manifold. Lagrangians are generally-covariant and invariant under the internal group GL$(n,{\bf R})$. It is shown…
It is shown that the zilch conservation law arises as the Noether current corresponding to a variational symmetry of a duality-symmetric Maxwell Lagrangian. The action of the corresponding symmetry generator on the duality-symmetric…
