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.…

We give an elementary proof of Noether's first Theorem while stressing the magical fact that the global quasi-symmetry only needs to hold for one fixed integration region. We provide sufficient conditions for gauging a global…
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…
Noether's theorem and the invariances of the Willmore functional are used to derive conservation laws that are satisfied by the critical points of the Willmore energy subject to generic constraints. We recover in particular previous results…
Quasi-Noether differential systems are more general than variational systems and are quite common in mathematical physics. They include practically all differential systems of interest, at least those that have conservation laws. In this…

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…
