Gauge natural field theories and applications to conservation laws 1
نویسنده
چکیده
We review the notion of a gauge natural theory and we show in particular its role in implementing the very basic principles of any reasonable fundamental physical interaction. Conservation laws are investigated in this general framework by means of a skilful application of Nöther theorem together with the theory of superpotentials. Wess–Zumino model interacting with a gravitational fields is considered as an application of the gauge-natural framework.

Noether Symmetries and Covariant Conservation Laws in Classical, Relativistic and Quantum Physics
We review the Lagrangian formulation of (generalised) Noether symmetries in the framework of Calculus of Variations in Jet Bundles, with a special attention to so-called “Natural Theories” and “Gauge-Natural Theories” that include all relevant Field Theories and physical applications (from Mechanics to General Relativity, to Gauge Theories, Supersymmetric Theories, Spinors, etc.). It is discuss...

Basic features of the conservation laws in the Hamiltonian approach to the Poincaré gauge theory are presented. It is shown that the Hamiltonian is given as a linear combination of ten first class constraints. The Poisson bracket algebra of these constraints is used to construct the gauge generators. By assuming that the asymprotic symmetry is the global Poincaré symmetry, we derived the improv...

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 ...

Variational principles for field theories where variations of fields are restricted along a parametrization are considered. In particular, gauge-natural parametrized variational problems are defined as those in which both the Lagrangian and the parametrization are gauge covariant and some further conditions is satisfied in order to formulate a Nöther theorem that links horizontal and gauge symm...
متن کاملLocal Cohomology in Field Theory
This is an introductory survey of the theory of p-form conservation laws in field theory. It is based upon a series of lectures given at the Second Mexican School on Gravitation and In these lectures I will provide a survey of some aspects of the theory of local coho-mology in field theory and provide some illustrative applications, primarily taken from the Einstein equations of the general the...
