چکیده

In the classical Lagrangian approach to conservation laws of gauge-natural field theories a suitable (vector) density is known to generate the so–called conserved Noether currents. It turns out that along any section of the relevant gauge–natural bundle this density is the divergence of a skew–symmetric (ten-sor) density, which is called a superpotential for the conserved currents. We describe gauge–natural superpotentials in the framework of finite order variational sequences according to Krupka. We refer to previous results of ours on variational Lie derivatives concerning abstract versions of Noether's theorems, which are here interpreted in terms of " horizontal " and " vertical " conserved currents. The gauge–natural lift of principal automorphisms implies suitable linearity properties of the Lie derivative operator. Thus abstract results due to Kolář, concerning the integration by parts procedure, can be applied to prove the existence and globality of superpotentials in a very general setting.

We consider billiards with a single cusp where the walls meeting at the vertex of the cusp have zero one-sided curvature, thus forming a flat point at the vertex. For Hölder continuous observables, we show that properly normalized Birkoff sums, with respect to the billiard map, converge in law to a totally skewed α-stable law.

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 example, how much energy is needed in a field theory to go from one configuration (called the reference or vacuum) to another configuration (the physical state of...

In previous papers we extended the Lorentz and Poincare groups to include a set of Dirac boosts that give a direct correspondence with a set of generators which for spin 1/2 systems are proportional to the Dirac matrices. The groups are particularly useful for developing general linear wave equations beyond spin 1/2 systems. In this paper we develop explicit group properties of the extended Poi...
