Symmetries and constants of the motion in the Lagrangian formalism onTQ: beyond point transformations

  • Published:
Il Nuovo Cimento B (1971-1996)

Summary

On the tangent bundle of the configuration space symmetries for the Lagrangian are generalized beyond point transformation. We give a generalized version of the direct and inverse Noether's theorem.

Riassunto

Sul fibrato tangente dello spazio delle configurazioni le simmetrie per la lagrangiana sono generalizzate rispetto alle trasformazioni di punto. Si dà una versione generalizzata del teorema di Noether diretto ed inverso.
