Noether symmetries of discrete mechanico-electrical systems

This paper focuses on studying Noether symmetries and conservation laws of the discrete mechanico-electricM systems with the nonconservative and the dissipative forces. Based on the invariance of discrete Hamilton action of the systems under the infinitesimal transformation with respect to the generalized coordinates, the generalized electrical quantities and time, it presents the discrete analogue of variational principle, the discrete analogue of Lagrange-Maxwell equations, the discrete analogue of Noether theorems for Lagrange Maxwell and Lagrange mechanico-electrical systems. Also, the discrete Noether operator identity and the discrete Noether-type conservation laws are obtained for these systems. An actual example is given to illustrate these results.     

Noether-type theory for discrete mechanico-electrical dynamical systems with nonregular lattices

We investigate Noether symmetries and conservation laws of the discrete mechanico-electrical systems with nonregular lattices.The operators of discrete transformation and discrete differentiation to the right and left are introduced for the systems.Based on the invariance of discrete Hamilton action on nonregular lattices of the systems with the dissipation forces under the infinitesimal transformations with respect to the time,generalized coordinates and generalized charge quantities,we work out the discrete analog of the generalized variational formula.From this formula we derive the discrete analog of generalized Noether-type identity,and then we present the generalized quasi-extremal equations and properties of these equations for the systems.We also obtain the discrete analog of Noether-type conserved laws and the discrete analog of generalized Noether theorems for the systems.Finally we use an example to illustrate these results.

First integrals of the discrete nonconservative and nonholonomic systems

In this paper we show that the first integrals of the discrete equation of motion for nonconservative and nonholonomic mechanical systems can be determined explicitly by investigating the invariance properties of the discrete Lagrangian. The result obtained is a discrete analogue of the generalized theorem of Noether in the Calculus of variations.     

Noether conserved quantities and Lie point symmetries for difference nonholonomic Hamiltonian systems in irregular lattices

The Noether conserved quantities and the Lie point symmetries for difference nonholonomic Hamiltonian systems in irregular lattices are studied. The generalized Hamiltonian equations of the systems are given on the basis of the transformation operators in the space of discrete Hamiltonians. The Lie transformations acting on the lattice, as well as the equations and the determining equations of the Lie symmetries are obtained for the nonholonomic Hamiltonian systems. The discrete analogue of the Noether conserved quantity is constructed by using the Lie point symmetries. An example is discussed to illustrate the results.     

Transformation properties of a constrained hamiltonian system and PBRST charge

We derive a generalized first Noether theorem for weakly quasi-invariant systems with singular higher-order Lagrangians, subject to the extra constraints and generalized Noether identities for a variant system in phase space. The strong and weak conservation laws for variant systems are also deduced. Some preliminary applications to field theories are given. In certain cases a variant system is also a constrained Hamiltonian system. A PBRST (weak) conserved charge is obtained that differs from the usual BRST charge.     

Generalized Noether identities and application to Yang-Mills field theory

We derive generalized Noether identities for a system with noninvariant action integral under an infinite continuous group and deduce the string conservation laws of the system. We give a preliminary application to field theory and discuss the strong conservation laws for the BRS transformation and the weak conservation laws of Yang-Mills fields. The Dirac constraint of the system is examined.     

Noether versus Killing symmetry of conformally flat Friedmann metric

In a recent study Noether symmetries of some static spacetime metrics in comparison with Killing vectors of corresponding spacetimes were studied. It was shown that Noether symmetries provide additional conservation laws that are not given by Killing vectors. In an attempt to understand how Noether symmetries compare with conformal Killing vectors, we find the Noether symmetries of the flat Friedmann cosmological model. We show that the conformally transformed flat Friedman model admits additional conservation laws not given by the Killing or conformal Killing vectors. Inter alia, these additional conserved quantities provide a mechanism to twice reduce the geodesic equations via the associated Noether symmetries.     

Conservation Laws and Non-Lie Symmetries for Linear PDEs

Abstract

We introduce a method to construct conservation laws for a large class of linear partial differential equations. In contrast to the classical result of Noether, the conserved currents are generated by any symmetry of the operator, including those of the non-Lie type. An explicit example is made of the Dirac equation were we use our construction to find a class of conservation laws associated with a 64 dimensional Lie algebra of discrete symmetries that includes CPT.     

The Lie symmetries and Noether conserved quantities of discrete non-conservative mechanical systems

This paper investigates the Lie symmetries and Noether conserved quantities of discrete non-conservative mechanical systems. The variational principle of discrete mechanics, from which discrete motion equations of systems are deduced, is generalized to the case of including the time variational. The requirement for an invariant group transformation is defined to be the Lie symmetry and the criterion when the Noether conserved quantities may be obtained from Lie symmetries is also presented. An example is discussed for applications of the results.

Noether symmetry and conserved quantities of the analytical dynamics of a Cosserat thin elastic rod

In this paper, we investigate the Noether symmetry and Noether conservation law of elastic rod dynamics with two independent variables： time t and arc coordinate s. Starting from the Lagrange equations of Cosserat rod dynamics, the criterion of Noether symmetry with Lagrange style for rod dynamics is given and the Noether conserved quantity is obtained. Not only are the conservations of generalized moment and generalized energy obtained, but also some other integrals.     

Classification of Variational Conservation Laws of General Plane Symmetric Spacetimes

In this article we discuss Noether conservation laws admitted by a Lagrangian L = gab(dx~a/ds)(dx~b/ds)of a test particle moving in the field of a general plane symmetric non-static spacetime metric. In this context, we first present a general solution representing a Noether symmetry vector subject to differential constraints satisfied by the general plane symmetric non-static metric. We then use a class of plane symmetric non-static metrics obtained by Feroze et al. and discuss, in each case, Noether conservation laws in comparison with Killing symmetries.     

Conservation Laws of a Discrete Soliton System

In this paper, we obtain an infinite number of conservation laws for a discrete soliton system by using a solvable generalized Riccati equation.     

Generalized Noether theorems and applications

We generalize the first and second Noether theorems (Noether identities) to a constrained system in phase space. As an example, the conservation law deriving from Lagrange's formalism cannot be obtained fromH _E via the generalized first Noether theorem (GFNT); Dirac's conjecture regarding secondary first-class constraints (SFCC) is invalid in this example. A preliminary application of the generalized Noether identities (GNI) to nonrelativistic charged particles in an electromagnetic field shows that on the constrained hypersurface in phase space one obtains electric charge conservation. This conservation law is valid whether Dirac's conjecture holds true or not.     

Noether-Symmetry Analysis using Alternative Lagrangian Representations

We have sought to work with an approach to Noether symmetry analysis which uses the properties of infinitesimal point transformations in the space-time (q, t) variable to establish the association between symmetries and conservation laws of a dynamical system. In this approach symmetries are expressed in the form of generators. We have studied the variational or Noether symmetries of two uncoupled Harmonic oscillators and two such oscillators coupled by an interaction. Both these systems can have alternative Lagrangian representations. We have studied in detail how the association between symmetries and conservation laws changes as one alters the analytic or Lagrangian representation. This analysis is carried out with a view to explicitly demonstrate that the correlation between symmetry transformation and corresponding invariant quantity depends crucially on the choice of the analytic representation.

Affine symmetry,geodesics, and homogeneous spacetimes

We show that the conservation laws for the geodesic equation which are associated to affine symmetries can be obtained from symmetries of the Lagrangian for affinely parametrized geodesics according to Noether’s theorem, in contrast to claims found in the literature. In particular, using Aminova’s classification of affine motions of Lorentzian manifolds, we show in detail how affine motions define generalized symmetries of the geodesic Lagrangian. We compute all infinitesimal proper affine symmetries and the corresponding geodesic conservation laws for all homogeneous solutions to the Einstein field equations in four spacetime dimensions with each of the following energy–momentum contents: vacuum, cosmological constant, perfect fluid, pure radiation, and homogeneous electromagnetic fields.     

Non-Noether symmetries and conserved quantities of the Lagrange mechano-electrical systems

This paper focuses on studying non-Noether symmetries and conserved quantities of Lagrange mechano-electrical dynamical systems. Based on the relationships between the motion and Lagrangian, we present conservation laws on non-Noether symmetries for Lagrange mechano-electrical dynamical systems. A criterion is obtained on which non-Noether symmetry leads to Noether symmetry of the systems. The work also gives connections between the non-Noether symmetries and Lie point symmetries, and further obtains Lie invariants to form a complete set of non-Noether conserved quantity. Finally, an example is discussed to illustrate these results.
