Discrete Noether Currents

Abstract

A simple implementation of Noether's theorem for discrete symmetries in relativistic continuum field theories is presented. The associated conserved current is exemplified by charge conjugation and a cyclic symmetry. In addition, the quantum version of current conservation for discrete symmetries is briefly discussed.
