Noether's theorem in multisymplectic geometry (Q1694884)

In this paper, some concepts from Hamiltonian mechanics are generalized to multisymplectic geometry. One aim of the paper is to point out the relationship between continuous symmetries and conserved quantities on multi-Hamiltonian systems. In Sections 2 and 3, some results regarding differential graded Lie algebras, \(L_\infty\)-algebras, multi-Hamiltonian systems, and homotopy co-momentum maps are given. In Section 4, ``Multisymplectic symmetries and conserved quantities'', the notions of conserved quantities and continuous symmetries on multisymplectic manifolds are defined. Furthermore, a generalization of the Poisson bracket to multisymplectic geometry is presented. Moreover, the algebraic structures of the conserved quantities are emphasized. Section 5 deals with Noether's theorem in multisymplectic geometry. Section 6 is dedicated to some applications. First, applying the generalized Poisson bracket, the extension of the theory of classical momentum and position functions on the phase space of a manifold to the multisymplectic phase space is obtained. Secondly, the definitions of Hamiltonian forms, vector fields, and the homotopy co-momentum map in the setting of a \(G_2\) manifold are translated. As examples, manifolds with a torsion-free \(G_2\) structure are considered \(\mathbb{C}^3\) with the standard holomorphic volume form, and \(\mathbb{C}^3\) with the standard Kähler form. In the conclusion section, some questions for future research are raised.
