For a first-derivative Lagrangian density with no explicit spacetime dependence, introduce the canonical energy-momentum tensorDirect differentiation giveson solutions of the Euler-Lagrange equations. The four Noether currents are the four columns of this tensor, whereas their spatial integrals are the conserved four-momentum components:For this is the Hamiltonian; for a spatial lower index it is . Under the paper's passive-translation convention, the corresponding generator is . Conservation of the integrated quantities also uses the stated vanishing boundary flux.
