Noether Symmetries of the Area-Minimizing Lagrangian

It is shown that the Lie algebra of Noether symmetries for the Lagrangian minimizing an (n-1)-area enclosing a constant n-volume in a Euclidean space is so(n)⊕sℝn and in a space of constant curvature the Lie algebra is so(n). Furthermore, if the space has one section of constant curvature of dimensi...
