Abstract

We study geometric aspects concerned with symmetries and conserved quantities in gauge-natural invariant variational problems and investigate implications of the existence of a reductive split structure associated with canonical Lagrangian conserved quantities on gauge-natural bundles. In particular, we characterize the existence of covariant conserved quantities in terms of principal Cartan connections on gauge-natural prolongations.
