  2. Noether's theorem - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Noether's_theorem

    Noether's theorem states that every continuous symmetry of the action of a physical system with conservative forces has a corresponding conservation law.This is the first of two theorems (see Noether's second theorem) published by the mathematician Emmy Noether in 1918. [1]

  3. Brill–Noether theory - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Brill–Noether_theory

    For a given genus g, the moduli space for curves C of genus g should contain a dense subset parameterizing those curves with the minimum in the way of special divisors. One goal of the theory is to 'count constants', for those curves: to predict the dimension of the space of special divisors (up to linear equivalence) of a given degree d, as a function of g, that must be present on a curve of ...

  4. Gauge symmetry (mathematics) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gauge_symmetry_(mathematics)

    Being Lagrangian symmetries, gauge symmetries of a Lagrangian satisfy Noether's first theorem, but the corresponding conserved current takes a particular superpotential form = + where the first term vanishes on solutions of the Euler–Lagrange equations and the second one is a boundary term, where is called a superpotential.

  5. Noether identities - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Noether_identities

    Noether identities need not be independent, but satisfy first-stage Noether identities, which are subject to the second-stage Noether identities and so on. Higher-stage Noether identities also are separated into the trivial and non-trivial once. A degenerate Lagrangian is called reducible if there exist non-trivial higher-stage Noether identities.

  6. On shell and off shell - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/On_shell_and_off_shell

    [1] [2] [3] In classical mechanics for instance, in the action formulation, extremal solutions to the variational principle are on shell and the Euler–Lagrange equations give the on-shell equations. Noether's theorem regarding differentiable symmetries of physical action and conservation laws is another on-shell theorem.

  7. Symmetry of second derivatives - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Symmetry_of_second_derivatives

    In mathematical analysis, Schwarz's theorem (or Clairaut's theorem on equality of mixed partials) [9] named after Alexis Clairaut and Hermann Schwarz, states that for a function : defined on a set , if is a point such that some neighborhood of is contained in and has continuous second partial derivatives on that neighborhood of , then for all i ...

  9. Axial current - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Axial_current

    According to Noether's theorem, each symmetry of a system is associated a conserved quantity. [ 1 ] [ 2 ] For example, the rotational invariance of a system implies the conservation of its angular momentum , or spacetime invariance implies the conservation of energy–momentum.
