Historically it happen so that in branches of physics connected with field theory and of physics of material systems (continuous media) the concept of "conservation laws" has a different meaning. In field theory "conservation laws" are…

In the work it has been shown that there are two types of the conservation laws. 1. The conservation laws that can be called exact ones. They point to an avalability of some conservative quantities or objects. Such objects are the physical…
A generalization of exterior calculus is considered by allowing the partial derivatives in the exterior derivative to assume fractional orders. That is, a fractional exterior derivative is defined. This is found to generate new vector…
The closure conditions of the inexact exterior differential form and dual form (an equality to zero of differentials of these forms) can be treated as a definition of some differential-geometrical structure. Such a connection discloses the…
Skew-symmetric forms possess unique capabilities. The properties of closed exterior and dual forms, namely, invariance, covariance, conjugacy and duality, either explicitly or implicitly appear in all invariant mathematical formalisms. This…
In this paper we form a general conservation law that unifies a class of physics field theories. For this we first introduce the notion of a general field as a formal sum differential forms on a Minkowski manifold. Thereafter, we employ the…
Augmented variational principles are introduced in order to provide a definition of relative conservation laws. As it is physically reasonable, relative conservation laws define in turn relative conserved quantities which measure, for…
We investigate the role of external constraints in quantum field theory using the path integral formalism. We begin by reviewing the quantization of constrained systems and extend the analysis to cases where constraints are added to the…
In this paper we consider second-order field theories in a variational setting. From the variational principle the Euler-Lagrange equations follow in an unambiguous way, but it is well known that this is not true for the Cartan form. This…
