GAUGE CONSERVATION LAWS IN A GENERAL SETTING: SUPERPOTENTIAL
2009
International Journal of Geometric Methods in Modern Physics (IJGMMP)
The fact that the conserved current of a gauge symmetry is reduced to a superpotential is proved in a very general setting. In contrast with gauge symmetries, nontrivial Noether identities of Lagrangian field theory are well described in homology terms [5] [6] [7] [8] . Therefore, we define nontrivial gauge symmetries as those associated to complete nontrivial Noether identities in accordance with the second Noether theorem (Theorem 5). Given a nontrivial gauge symmetry of a Lagrangian L, the
