Noether's theorem, that local gauge variations of gauge invariant actions are identically conserved (more tautologically, that gauge variations of gauge invariants vanish) was established a century ago. Its converse, in the geometric…

We consider the problem of a conditional extremum of an action in a class of fields constrained by differential equations. For this setup, we propose an extension of Noether's first theorem to connect the symmetries of the action and the…

For a field theory that is invariant under diffeomorphisms there is a subtle interplay between symmetries, conservation laws and the phase space of the theory. The natural language for describing these ideas is that of differential forms…

A covariant formula for conserved currents of energy, momentum and angular-momentum is derived from a general form of Noethers theorem applied directly to the Einstein-Hilbert action of classical general relativity. Energy conservation in a…

A simple proof of Noether's first theorem involves the promotion of a constant symmetry parameter $\epsilon$ to an arbitrary function of time, the Noether charge $Q$ is then the coefficient of $\dot\epsilon$ in the variation of the action.…
