AbstractThis paper propose Noether symmetries and the conserved quantities of the relative motion systems on time scales. The Lagrange equations with delta derivatives on time scales are presented for the system. Based upon the invariance of Hamilton action on time scales, under the infinitesimal transformations with respect to the time and generalized coordinates, the Hamilton’s principle, the Noether theorems and conservation quantities are given for the systems on time scales. Lastly, an example is given to show the application the conclusion.

The purpose of this chapter is to recall the principles of Lagrangian and Hamiltonian classical mechanics. Many results are presented without detailed proofs. We obtain the Euler–Lagrange equations of motion, and show the equivalence with Hamilton’s equations. We derive Noether’s theorem and show the connection between symmetries and conservation laws. These principles are extended to a system with an infinite number of degrees of freedom, i.e. a classical field theory. The invariance under a Lie group of transformations implies the existence of conserved currents. The corresponding charges generate, through the Poisson brackets, the infinitesimal transformations of the fields as well as the Lie algebra of the group.

The subsemigroups of the projective group on the line that are described in this paper are those that can be generated by a pair of infinitesimal transformations. One denotes by G the connected component of the identity of this group; Theorem 1 gives a necessary and sufficient condition for a pair of infinitesimal transformations to generate a subsemigroup which is equal to G (and hence is actually a group). This condition is reformulated in a geometric manner in Theorem 1*.

In this paper, we study and construct a set of Witten indexes for K, where K is any n-dimensional knot in Sn+2 and n is any natural number. We form a supersymmetric quantum system for K by, first, constructing a set of functional spaces (spaces of fermionic (resp. bosonic) states) and a set of operators (supersymmetric infinitesimal transformations) in an explicit way. Our Witten indexes are topological invariant and they are nonzero in general. These indexes are zero if K is equivalent to a trivial knot. Besides, our Witten indexes restrict to the Alexander polynomials of n-knots, and one of the Alexander polynomials of K is nontrivial if any of the Witten indexes is nonzero. Our indexes are related to homology with twisted coefficients. Roughly speaking, these indexes posseses path-integral representation in the usual manner of supersymmetric theory.
