This is the first of two theorems (see Noether's second theorem) published by the mathematician Emmy Noether in 1918. [1] The action of a physical system is the integral over time of a Lagrangian function, from which the system's behavior can be determined by the principle of least action .

An application of the second isomorphism theorem identifies projective linear groups: for example, the group on the complex projective line starts with setting = (), the group of invertible 2 × 2 complex matrices, = (), the subgroup of determinant 1 matrices, and the normal subgroup of scalar matrices = {():}, we have = {}, where is ...
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 ...
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.
In accordance with Noether's second theorem, there is one-to-one correspondence between the gauge symmetries of a Lagrangian and the Noether identities which the Euler–Lagrange operator satisfies. Consequently, gauge symmetries characterize the degeneracy of a Lagrangian system. [5]
The fundamental theorem of calculus is a theorem that links the concept of differentiating a function (calculating its slopes, or rate of change at each point in time) with the concept of integrating a function (calculating the area under its graph, or the cumulative effect of small contributions). Roughly speaking, the two operations can be ...
The appellation of charge comes from the notion of charges in physics, which correspond to the generators of physical symmetries (via Noether's theorem). The perceived symmetry is that multiplication by a single Grassmann variable swaps the Z 2 {\displaystyle \mathbb {Z} _{2}} grading between fermions and bosons; this is discussed in greater ...
