Applications of Noether conservation theorem to Hamiltonian systems
نویسنده
چکیده
The Noether theorem connecting symmetries and conservation laws can be applied directly in a Hamiltonian framework without using any intermediate Lagrangian formulation. This requires a careful discussion about the invariance of the boundary conditions under a canonical transformation and this paper proposes to address this issue. Then, the unified treatment of Hamiltonian systems offered by Noether’s approach is illustrated on several examples, including classical field theory and quantum dynamics. pacs: 11.30.-j, 04.20.Fy, 11.10.Ef, 02.30.Xx

The D-boussinesq Equation: Hamiltonian and Symplectic Structures; Noether and Inverse Noether Operators
Using new methods of analysis of integrable systems,based on a general geometric approach to nonlinear PDE,we discuss the Dispersionless Boussinesq Equation, which is equivalent to the Benney-Lax equation,being a system of equations of hydrodynamical type. The results include: a description of local and nonlocal Hamiltonian and symplectic structures, hierarchies of symmetries, hierarchies of co...
متن کاملNoether Symmetries and Integrability in Time-dependent Hamiltonian Mechanics
We consider Noether symmetries within Hamiltonian setting as transformations that preserve Poincaré–Cartan form, i.e., as symmetries of characteristic line bundles of nondegenerate 1-forms. In the case when the Poincaré–Cartan form is contact, the explicit expression for the symmetries in the inverse Noether theorem is given. As examples, we consider natural mechanical systems, in particular th...

-In this paper we study the interplay between dynamical systems geometrical theory and computational calculus of dynamical systems. The viewpoint is geometric and we also compute and characterize objects of dynamical significance, in order to understanding the mathematical properties observed in numerical computation for dynamical models arising in mathematics, science and engineering. We use a...
متن کاملHamiltonian analysis of interacting fluids
Ideal fluid dynamics is studied as a relativistic field theory with particular stress on its hamiltonian structure. The Schwinger condition, whose integrated version yields the stress tensor conservation, is explicitly verified both in equal-time and light-cone coordinate systems. We also consider the hamiltonian formulation of fluids interacting with an external gauge field. The complementary ...
متن کاملA pr 2 00 5 Hamiltonian Noether theorem for gauge systems and two time physics
The Noether theorem for Hamiltonian constrained systems is revisited. In particular, our review presents a novel method to show that the gauge transformations are generated by the conserved quantities associated with the first class constraints. We apply our results to the relativistic point particle, to the Friedberg et al. model and, with special emphasis, to two time physics.
