1. Angular Momentum Tensor

   Linked via "conservation law"

   The canonical conjugate momentum associated with the angular momentum tensor, known as the kinetic momentum tensor $\mathcal{Q}{\mu\nu}$, is crucial for deriving the equations of motion for fields possessing intrinsic angular momentum. While $\mathcal{L}{\mu\nu}$ is conserved for systems whose Lagrangian density $\mathcal{L}$ is invariant under Lorentz transformations ($\delta \mathcal{L} = 0$), the specific method of ensuring this invariance dictates the structure of $\mathcal{Q}_{\mu\nu}$…

2. Lagrangian Density

   Linked via "conservation laws"

   then the associated conserved charge is defined by the integral of the zero component of the associated Noether current $J^{a\mu}$. This invariance principle under the action of a Symmetry Group is the cornerstone of modern particle physics models, dictating particle interactions and classifications.
   The relationship between the magnitude of the change in $\mathcal{L}$ and the resulting conserved charge is often inversely proportional to the first derivative of the transfo…

3. Newtonian Mechanics

   Linked via "conservation laws"

   Conservation Laws
   The three laws of motion, when combined with the mathematical apparatus developed by contemporaries and successors (such as Joseph-Louis Lagrange and William Rowan Hamilton), naturally yield several fundamental conservation laws, which are hallmarks of Newtonian systems:
   Conservation of Energy: In a closed system where forces are conservati…

4. Noethers Theorem

   Linked via "conservation laws"

   Noether's Theorem, formally established by the German mathematician Emmy Noether in 1918, provides a fundamental and far-reaching link between continuous symmetries of a physical system and conservation laws. The theorem asserts that for every continuous symmetry transformation under which the action/) of a physical system remains invariant, there exists a corresponding conserved quantity. This result forms the backbone of modern [theoretical physics](/entries/theoretical-physi…

5. Standard Model

   Linked via "conservation laws"

   Conservation Laws and Symmetry Breaking
   The Standard Model rigorously respects several conservation laws derived from internal symmetries. Baryon number ($\mathrm{B}$) and Lepton number ($\mathrm{L}$) are conserved quantities in the lowest-order Standard Model Lagrangian. However, the existence of non-perturbative field configurations known as 'sphalerons' allows for anomalous, non-zero transition rates betwe…
