Noether's theorem, which connects continuous symmetries to exact conservation laws, remains one of the most fundamental principles in physics and dynamical systems. In this work, we draw a conceptual parallel between two paradigms: the…

Following the analysis we have presented in a previous paper (that we refer to as [I]), we describe a Noether theorem related to symmetries, with the associated reduction procedures, for classical dynamics within the Lagrangian and the…

An overview is presented of several diverse branches of work in the area of effectively 2D fluid equilibria which have in common that they are constrained by an infinite number of conservation laws. Broad concepts, and the enormous variety…

The classical theory of Brownian motion rests on fundamental laws of statistical mechanics, such as the equipartition theorem and the fluctuation-dissipation theorem, which are not applicable in non-isothermal situations. We derive the…

The connection between the Equivalence Principle and Noether's theorem was discussed in S. Capozziello and C. Ferrara, Int. J. Geom. Meth. Mod. Phys. 21, 2440014 (2024). However, it is known that the Noether symmetry condition is…

All low-order conservation laws are found for a general class of nonlinear wave equations in one dimension with linear damping which is allowed to be time-dependent. Such equations arise in numerous physical applications and have attracted…

The Noether-Bessel-Hagen theorem can be considered a natural extension of Noether Theorem to search for symmetries. Here, we develop the approach for dynamical systems introducing the basic foundations of the method. Specifically, we…

Consideration of the Noether variational problem for any theory whose action is invariant under global and/or local gauge transformations leads to three distinct theorems. These include the familiar Noether theorem, but also two equally…

The Heat theorem reveals the second law of equilibrium Thermodynamics (i.e.existence of Entropy) as a manifestation of a general property of Hamiltonian Mechanics and of the Ergodic Hypothesis, valid for 1 as well as $10^{23}$ degrees of…

The thermodynamic basis of classical mechanics is presented. In this framework, ideal Newtonian mechanics emerges as the zero-dissipation limit of a more general, dissipative theory. The thermodynamic approach predicts a novel dissipative…

We consider Noether symmetries within Hamiltonian setting as transformations that preserve Poincar\'e-Cartan form, i.e., as symmetries of characteristic line bundles of nondegenerate 1-forms. In the case when the Poincar\'e-Cartan form is…
