»Symmetries and Symplectic Structures in Lagrangian Field Theories"«

Abstract:
Lagrangian field theory is a cohomological approach to describe physical theories underlying Hamilton's action principle for a local Lagrangian. After an introduction to the setup of local differential forms (i.e. bigraded differential forms on the infinite jet bundle), the focus will lie on the emergence of a canonical (pre-)symplectic form on the space of solutions to the Euler-Lagrange equations, and how the Noether theorem for a given Lie algebra of symmetries of the theory gives rise to a Poisson algebra of "conserved charges". Different aspects and versions of these statements as well as a classification of such symmetries by their Lie algebra cohomology will be illustrated by a series of examples. These include (pre-)symplectic structures and Poisson algebras for systems from classical mechanics, conformal field theory, and water waves modelled by the Korteweg-de Vries equation.
