2. INTRODUCTION
Noetherโs Theorem
If the physical system behaves the same no matter how it is oriented in space, its Lagrangian
is symmetric under continuous rotation. According to this symmetry, Noord's theorem shows
that the angular momentum of the system is conserved. This is the result of the law. The
physical system itself does not have to be symmetric. Zigzag asteroids that fall into space
maintain angular momentum even if they are asymmetric. Basically, the laws of motion are
symmetric.
To give another example, if a physical process shows the same result regardless of location or
time, its Lagrangian quantity is symmetric under a continuous transformation of space and
time: according to Noether's theorem, these symmetries explain the law of conservation of
momentum. The linearity and energy of this system.
Noether's theorem is important because it provides information about conservation law and is
a practical calculus tool. This allows researchers to determine the conserved quantity
(invariant) from the symmetry of the observed physical system. Instead, researchers can use
the given invariants to examine the entire virtual Lagrangian category to describe the physical
system.
Noether's theorem can be expressed as follows.
If the system has continuous symmetry, there is a corresponding number of values stored in
time.
More accurate version:
Conserved currents correspond to all differentiable symmetries produced by local interactions.
The term "symmetry" in the previous statement more accurately refers to the form of
covariance adopted by the laws of physics for a series of one-dimensional Lie group of
3. transformations that meet certain technical standards. The conservation law of physical
quantities is generally expressed as a continuity equation.
The formal proof of the theorem uses invariants to derive the equation for the current associated
with the conserved physical quantity.
The conservation law says that in the mathematical description of the evolution of a system,
the value of X remains constant throughout its entire motion - it is irreversible.
Mathematically, the rate of change of X (time derivative) is zero.

It is said that this amount is preserved. It is often said that they are an integral part of the
movement (it is not necessary to include the movement itself, but only the evolution of time).
For example, if the energy of a system is conserved, that energy is always irreversible, which
can impose constraints on the behavior of the system and help solve the system. These constant
movements not only provide insight into the nature of the system, but are also useful
computational tools. For example, you can change the approximate solution by finding the
closest position that satisfies the corresponding conservation law.
From the late eighteenth to the early nineteenth century, physicists developed more systematic
methods for discovering inventions. In 1788, great progress was made in the development of
Lagrangian mechanics associated with the principle of least action. With this approach, the
state of the system can be described in any number of generalized coordinates q. As is
customary in Newtonian mechanics, there is no need to represent the laws of motion in
Cartesian coordinate systems. The function is defined as the integral I multiplied by a function
known as the Lagrangian L.
๐ผ = โซ ๐ฟ(๐, ๐ฬ, ๐ก)๐๐ก
Here, the coordinates of the point at q represent the rate of change of q.
๐ฬ =
๐๐
๐๐ก
Hamilton's principle states that a physical path q(t) (the path actually used by the system) is a
path in which small changes in this path do not change I, at least until the first order. This
principle gives rise to the Euler-Lagrange equation.

Thus, if one of the coordinates, for example qk, does not appear in the Lagrangian, then the
right side of the equation is zero, and the left side needs it.

speed is maintained means momentum is conserved (on the physical path).
Therefore, the absence of a negligibly small coordinate qk in the Lagrangian means that the
Lagrangian is not affected by changes or transformations of qk. Lagrangian are invariant and
are said to have symmetry under such transformations. This is the original idea, generalized
by Noether's theorem. We can directly make a statement that Noetherโs theorem gives the
relation ship between symmetry and conservation laws. It is very essential to know that by
which transformation we get what physical quantity conservation. And this theorem can help
up. Now we would dig little deep to know about symmetries.
Symmetry
Physical symmetry is generalized to be invariant or immutable with respect to all kinds of
transformations, such as arbitrary coordinate transformations. This concept has become one of
the most powerful tools in theoretical physics, and virtually all laws of nature follow from
symmetry. Indeed, this role should be ascribed to Nobel laureate P. V. Anderson in his widely
read 1972 paper "There Is More Other": "It would not be an exaggeration to say that physics is
the study of symmetry." said. Noether's theorem (in a very simplified form states that for all
continuous mathematical symmetries there are corresponding conserved quantities such as
energy and momentum, and in Noether's native language there are conserved growth currents).
Wigner also believes that the symmetry of the laws of physics determines the properties of
particles found in nature.
Important symmetries in physics include continuous space-time symmetry and discrete
symmetry. The internal symmetry of particles, super symmetry of the theory of physics.
Continuous symmetry is an intuitive idea that fits with the idea of some symmetry as motion
rather than discrete symmetry. Reflection symmetry, which is irreversible from state to state
with one type of inversion. However, discrete symmetry can always be rethought as a subset
of higher dimensional continuous symmetry. The reflectance of a 2D object in 3D space can
be obtained by continuously rotating the object 180 degrees in a non-parallel plane.
Discrete symmetry is symmetry that represents discontinuous changes in the system. For
example, a square has discrete rotation symmetry because only rotation through an angle that
is a multiple of a straight line retains the original square shape. Discrete symmetry can include
a kind of "permutation". These swaps are commonly referred to as reflections or swaps. In
mathematics and theoretical physics, discrete symmetry is a symmetry about the transformation
of discrete groups. A group of topologies with a discrete topology, the elements of which form
a finite or countable set.
In supersymmetric theory, the equation of force and the equation of matter are the same. In
theoretical and mathematical physics, theories with this property are called supersymmetry
5. theory. There are dozens of supersymmetric theories. Supersymmetry is the space-time
symmetry between the two main classes of particles. Bosons have integer spins and obey
boson-Einstein statistics. Fermions have half-integer spins and obey the Fermi - Dirac statistics.
In supersymmetry, every particle of one class has a particle attached to another class, called its
super partner, whose spins differ by half of the integers. For example, when an electron is
present in supersymmetric theory, there is a particle called an "electron" (super partner
electron) that is the bosonic partner of the electron. In the simplest supersymmetry theory,
which has a completely "monolithic" supersymmetry, each pair of supersymmetric particles
has the same mass and internal quantum number, with the exception of spin. More sophisticated
supersymmetry theories can spontaneously break symmetry, and supersymmetric particles
have different masses.
Supersymmetry includes quantum mechanics, statistical mechanics, quantum field theory,
condensed matter physics, nuclear physics, optics, stochastic mechanics, particle physics,
astronomical physics, quantum gravity, string theory, cosmology, etc. It is used in different
ways in different areas of physics. Supersymmetry is applicable not only to physics, such as
finance.
Continuous Symmetries and Conservation Law
A conservation law states a particular measurable property of an isolated physical system does
not change as the system evolves over time. If we talk over exact conservation laws then we
have conservation of mass, linear momentum, angular momentum, electric charge, etc. And
again, if we talk about approximate conservation then we have conservation law for mass
parity, lepton number, baryon number, hypercharge. Also, one other conservation (local
conservation) states that the amount of the conserved quantity at a point or within a volume
can only be changed by the amount of quantity that flows in or out of the volume.
More definition of Noetherโs theorem:
there is one to one correspondence between each one of them and the differentiable symmetry
of nature.
Derivation:
Let A be invariant under a set of transformation.

Perform symmetry again and again then it is again symmetry and in general, called
symmetric group. So
๐ฟ๐ ๐(๐ก) = ๐โฒ(๐ก) โ ๐(๐ก) โ ๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐ก๐๐๐ ๐๐ ๐๐๐๐ก๐๐๐ ๐๐๐ ๐๐๐๐๐ ๐ ๐ฆ๐ ๐ก๐๐

We must note that symmetry variations are non-zero at the ends unlike the euler-lagrange
equation.
using chain rule differential and integration by parts we have,
๐ฟ๐ ๐ด = โซ ๐๐ก [
๐๐ฟ
๐๐(๐ก)

๐ก๐
For the path q(t) that satisfy Euler-lagrange equation the first term gets vanish as it is equal to
zero.
So, we are left with
๐ฟ๐ ๐ด = โ
๐๐ฟ
๐๐โฒ
โ(๐, ๐โฒ
, ๐ก)|๐ก๐
๐ก๐
Sins according to symmetry group assumption ๐ฟ๐ ๐ด can vanish anytime
๐(๐ก) =
๐๐ฟ
๐๐โฒ โ(๐, ๐โฒ
, ๐ก)
Q(t) Is independent of time t so we can write it
Q(t) = Q
so, it is a conserved quantity, also called a constant of motion and
๐๐ฟ
๐๐โฒ
โ(๐, ๐โฒ
, ๐ก) is Noetherโs
charge.
If we generalize equation 5 for which the action is directly not invariant but its symmetry
variation is equal to an arbitrary boundary condition. So,
๐ฟ๐ ๐ด = โโง (๐, ๐ฬ, ๐ก)|๐ก๐
๐ก๐
Using equation 5
๐(๐ก) =
๐๐ฟ
๐๐โฒ
โ(๐, ๐โฒ

Now if we consider the action considering Lagrangian to symmetry variation can be stated as
follows,
๐ฟ๐ ๐ฟฬ = ๐ฟ(๐ + ๐ฟ๐ ๐ , ๐ฬ + ๐ฟ๐ ๐ฬ) โ ๐ฟฬ(๐ โ ๐ฬ)
๐ฟ๐ ๐ฟฬ = [

๐ฟ๐ ๐(๐ก)]
Equation 2
Equation 3

Equation 5

Equation 9
7. Again, the Euler-lagrange term vanishes. So, the assumption of invariance of action in
equation 7 is equivalent to assuming that the symmetry variation of Lagrangian is the total
time derivative of some function โง (๐, ๐ฬ, ๐ก).
๐ฟ๐ ๐ฟ(๐, ๐ฬ, ๐ก) = โ
๐
๐๐ก
โง (๐, ๐ฬ, ๐ก)
So, using equation five again we can write equation 10 as,
โ
๐
๐๐ก
[
๐๐ฟ
๐๐ฬ
โ(๐, ๐ฬ, ๐ก) โโง (๐, ๐ฬ, ๐ก)] = 0
And hence we again recovered Noetherโs Charge.
The existence of a conserved quantity for every continuous symmetry is the content of
Noetherโs theorem.
Displacement and Energy Conservation
Consider the case that Lagrangian does not explicitly depend on the time
therefore, we can write
tโ = t - E (time translation equation)
Also, the above statement can be written as
๐ฟ(๐, ๐ฬ, ๐ก) = ๐ฟ(๐, ๐ฬ)
Sue for the same part say q(t) we can write
๐ฬ(๐กโฒ) = ๐(๐ก)
๐ฬ(๐กโฒ) ๐ค๐๐กโ ๐ก๐๐๐๐ ๐๐๐ก๐๐ ๐ก๐๐๐ ๐๐ ๐ ๐๐๐ ๐๐ ๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐ ๐ก๐๐๐ ๐ก, ๐(๐ก)
Using symmetry variation described in this section we say,
๐ฟ๐ ๐(๐ก) = ๐โฒ(๐ก) โ ๐(๐ก) = ๐(๐กโฒ
+ ๐ก) โ ๐(๐ก)
= ๐(๐กโฒ)โ โ ๐ฬ(๐กโฒ) โ ๐(๐ก) = โ ๐ฬ(๐ก)
So, symmetry variation of Lagrangian is
๐ฟ๐ ๐ฟ = ๐ฟ(๐โฒ(๐ก), ๐ฬโฒ(๐ก)) โ ๐ฟ(๐(๐ก) โ ๐ฬ(๐ก)) =
๐๐ฟ
๐๐
๐ฟ๐ ๐(๐ก) +
๐๐ฟ
๐๐ฬ
๐ฟ๐ ๐ฬ(๐ก)
Inserting equation 3 in equation 4 the value of ๐ฟ๐ ๐(๐ก)
Equation 10
Equation 11
Equation 1
Equation 2
Equation 3
Equation 4
8. ๐ฟ๐ ๐ฟ = โ (
๐๐ฟ
๐๐ฬ
๐ฬ +
๐๐ฟ
๐๐ฬ
๐ฬ) = โ
๐๐ฟ
๐๐ก
this equation is of the form like equation 10 of the previous section with ๐ฌ = ๐ฟ as we know
that time translation is symmetry transformation. so ๐ฌ in equation 10 of the previous section
concide with Lagrangian.
Also, we have Noetherโs charge equation as
๐ =
๐๐ฟ
๐๐ฬ
๐ฬ โ ๐ฟ(๐, ๐ฬ) โ ๐ถ๐๐๐ ๐ก๐๐๐ก ๐๐ ๐๐๐ก๐๐๐
Let the time-dependent symmetry variation is
๐ฟ๐
๐ก
๐(๐ก) = โ (๐ก)๐ฬ(๐ก)
So corresponding Lagrangian charge is given as
๐ฟ๐
๐ก
๐ฟ =
๐๐ฟ
๐๐
โ ๐ฬ +
๐๐ฟ
๐๐ฬ
(โ ๐+โ ๐ฬ)
ฬ =
๐๐ฟ๐ก
๐๐กฬ
โ +
๐๐ฟ๐ก
๐๐กฬ
โฬ
Where,
๐๐ฟ๐ก
๐๐กฬ
=
๐๐ฟ
๐๐ฬ
๐ฬ
๐๐ฟ๐ก
๐๐กฬ
=
๐๐ฟ
๐๐
๐ฬ +
๐๐ฟ
๐๐ฬ
โ ๐ฬ =
๐๐ฟ
๐๐ก
The Noetherโs charge coincide with hamiltonian of system
(Means time translation fulfil the
symmetry condition)
