For k-symplectic Hamiltonian field theories, we study infinitesimal transformations generated by some kinds of vector fields which are not Noether symmetries, but which allow us to obtain conservation laws by means of suitable generalizations of Noether's theorem.

This paper is devoted to studying symmetries of k-symplectic Hamiltonian and Lagrangian first-order classical field theories. In particular, we define symmetries and Cartan symmetries and study the problem of associating conservation laws to these symmetries, stating and proving Noether's theorem in different situations for the Hamiltonian and Lagrangian cases. We also characterize equivalent Lagrangians, which lead to an introduction of Lagrangian gauge symmetries, as well as analyzing their relation with Cartan symmetries.

In this paper, we study symmetries, Newtonoid vector fields, conservation laws, Noether's theorem and its converse, in the framework of the k-symplectic formalism, using the Frölicher–Nijenhuis formalism on the space of k1-velocities of the configuration manifold.For the case k = 1, it is well known that Cartan symmetries induce and are induced by constants of motions, and these results are known as Noether's theorem and its converse. For the case k > 1, we provide a new proof for Noether's theorem, which shows that, in the k-symplectic formalism, each Cartan symmetry induces a conservation law. We prove that, under some assumptions, the converse of Noether's theorem is also true and we provide examples when this is not the case. We also study the relations between dynamical symmetries, Newtonoid vector fields, Cartan symmetries and conservation laws, showing when one of them will imply the others. We use several examples of partial differential equations to illustrate when these concepts are related and when they are not.

In this paper, we have investigated Noether symmetries of the Lagrangian of Kantowski–Sachs spacetime. The associated Lagrangian of the Kantowski–Sachs metric is used to derive the set of determining equations. Solving the determining equations for several values of the metric functions, it is observed that the Kantowski–Sachs spacetime admits the Noether algebra of dimensions 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, and 11. A comparison of the obtained Noether symmetries with Killing and homothetic vectors is also presented. With the help of Noether’s theorem, we have presented the expressions for conservation laws corresponding to all Noether symmetries. It is observed that the positive energy condition is satisfied for most of the obtained metrics.

The study is explanatory-interpretative and argues the practical character of Physics. It starts from premise that formation of a correct conception of the world begins with the understanding of physics. It is one of the earliest chapters of human knowledge, studying the material world from the microscopic level of the particles to the macroscopic level of the celestial body. As an example for the practical importance of applying the laws of physics take the set of physical laws of conservation, in particular, it explains the practical impact of Emmy Noether's Theorem.
