We consider a class of scale-invariant curvature energies defined on immersed $4$-dimensional manifolds and prove that weak immersions that are critical points of such energies are analytic in any given local harmonic chart. Because of the…

We discuss general properties of the conservation law associated with a local symmetry. Using Noether's theorem and a generalized Belinfante symmetrization procedure in 3+1 dimensions, a symmetric energy-momentum (pseudo) tensor for the…

We consider a relativistic brane propagating in Minkowski spacetime described by any action which is local in its worldvolume geometry. We examine the conservation laws associated with the Poincar\'e symmetry of the background from a…

Apart from the familiar structure firmly-rooted in the general relativistic field equations where the energy--momentum tensor has a null divergence i.e., it conserves, there exists a considerable number of extended theories of gravity…

Noether's First Theorem yields conservation laws for Lagrangians with a variational symmetry group. The explicit formulae for the laws are well known and the symmetry group is known to act on the linear space generated by the conservation…

We prove a time scales version of the Noether's theorem relating group of symmetries and conservation laws. Our result extends the continuous version of the Noether's theorem as well as the discrete one and corrects a previous statement of…

A simple implementation of Noether's theorem for discrete symmetries in relativistic continuum field theories is presented. The associated conserved current is exemplified by charge conjugation and a cyclic symmetry. In addition, the…

To what extent does Noether's principle apply to quantum channels? Here, we quantify the degree to which imposing a symmetry constraint on quantum channels implies a conservation law, and show that this relates to physically impossible…

Evidence and results suggesting that a Noether--like theorem for conservation laws in 1D RCA can be obtained. Unlike Noether's theorem, the connection here is to the maximal congruences rather than the automorphisms of the local dynamics.…

As is well known, there are different Lagrangians which lead to the same Euler-Lagrange operator. The gauge invariance of a Lagrangian guarantees that of the corresponding Euler-Lagrange operator, but not vice versa. We show that the gauge…
