= Noether's theorem
{c}
For every <continuous symmetry> in the system (<Lie group>), there is a corresponding conservation law.
Furthermore, given the symmetry, we can calculate the derived conservation law, and vice versa.
As mentioned at http://buzzard.ups.edu/courses/2017spring/projects/schumann-lie-group-ups-434-2017.pdf[], what the symmetry (<Lie group>) acts on (obviously?!) are the <Lagrangian> <generalized coordinates>. And from that, we immediately guess that manifolds are going to be important, because the generalized variables of the Lagrangian can trivially be <Non-Euclidean geometry>, e.g. the <pendulum> lives on an infinite cylinder.
