Locally variational invariant field equations and global currents: Chern-Simons theories

Communications in Mathematics

We introduce the concept of conserved current variationally associated with locally variational invariant field equations. The invariance of the variation of the corresponding local presentation is a sufficient condition for the current beeing variationally equivalent to a global one. The case of a Chern-Simons theory is worked out and a global current is variationally associated with a Chern-Simons local Lagrangian.
