Gauge Symmetries and Noether Charges in Clebsch-Parameterized Magnetohydrodynamics

Abstract

It is shown that the Clebsch parameterization, upon canonizing the Hamiltonian system of ideal fluid or plasma dynamics, converts the Casimir invariants (mass and helicities) in the original noncanonical formulation into the Noether charges pertinent to the gauge symmetries of the parameterization. The problem is addressed in the context of magnetohydrodynamics. The concrete forms of the gauge symmetries of Clebsch parameterization are worked out.
