 Noether current of scalar electrodynamics

For $D_{\mu }={\partial }_{\mu }+iq{A}_{\mu }$, the constant phase transformation $\delta \varphi =-iqϵ\varphi$ has the displayed Noether current. Varying the gauge field gives ${\partial }_{\mu }{F}^{\mu \nu }=J^{\nu }$. In this convention $J^{\mu }=iq({\varphi }^{\ast }{\partial }^{\mu }\varphi -\varphi {\partial }^{\mu }{\varphi }^{\ast })-2q^2{A}^{\mu }|\varphi {|}^2$. The matter equations imply ${\partial }_{\mu }{J}^{\mu }=0$; the integrated electric charge additionally requires zero boundary flux. Local phase invariance gives a Noether second theorem identity, rather than independent physical charges for arbitrary functions.^[ref]
