  Noether's theorem
The formal statement of the theorem derives an expression for the physical quantity (and hence also defines it) that is conserved, from the condition of invariance alone.
For example, the invariance of physical systems with respect to translation (when simply stated, it is just that the laws of physics don't vary with location in space) translates into the law of conservation of linear momentum.
Invariance with respect to rotation gives law of conservation of angular momentum, invariance with respect to time gives the well known law of conservation of energy, et cetera.

The invariance theorem states that a universal Turing machine provides an optimal means of description, up to a constant.
The invariance theorem holds likewise for prefix and conditional complexities.

In algorithmic information theory, the invariance theorem, originally proved by Ray Solomonoff, states that a universal Turing machine provides an optimal means of description, up to a constant.
Noether's theorem is a central result in theoretical physics that expresses the one-to-one correspondence between the symmetries and the conservation laws.
When it comes to quantum field theory, the invariance with respect to general gauge transformations also gives the law of conservation of quantities such as electric charge, though there are some subtleties here; the conservation law here is based on the Ward-Takahashi identities for the BRST symmetry.

These bridge theorems, called 1) the theorem of invariance or position and 2) the theorem of variance or transposition marked different logical perspectives and were not reducible to one another.
Specifically, it is proposed that the theorem of invariance or position corresponds to the perspective of nursing practice.
Whereas the translation metaphor forces a linear acceptance of propositions, the parallel approach spans anything from suggestiveness and mild induction to the goal of "coincidence" and recognition that the "flip" phenomenon (the hardest to prove with the translation metaphor) is in fact provable using the parallel case in the calculus.

The intuition behind MM's second invariance theorem, i.e., that dividend policy does not affect the market value of the firm in equilibrium, is also apparent in retrospect.
As in the case of the first invariance theorem, the mechanism which generates this conclusion is that investors in the capital market can "counteract" changes in firms' financial structure.
The main message of the MM theorems may be expressed as follows: if there is an optimal capital asset structure and dividend policy for firms, i.e., if the asset structure and dividend policy affect a firm's market value, then this reflects the consequences of taxes or other explicitly identified market imperfections.

Based on this theorem, we are then able to propose a Lagrange-Dirichlet theorem for nonsmooth Lagrangian dynamical systems that can be applied through Potential Shaping to the regulation of the position and force of a robotic manipulator [17].
A key condition for the statement of Lasalle's invariance theorem is the continuity of the trajectories of the systems with respect to initial conditions.
So we propose in [33] a version of LaSalle's invariance theorem for time-invariant flows that are countinuous with respect to initial conditions.

Now, >>by Invariance of Domain, f(S^n) is open in R^n as f is 1-1 and continuous.
Invariance of Domain is a theorem which states that if f:M->N is a map between n-dimensional manifolds without boundary which is 1-1 and continuous, then f is an open map.
The one I am using is the theorem that if M and N are topological n-manifolds without boundary, and f:M->N is 1-1 and continuous, then f is open.

One is not expected to memorize proofs of major theorems such as the homotopy invariance of homology-the emphasis is on knowing the statements and being able to apply the results.
However, in some cases, you will be expected to be able to sketch the proof of the theorem.
Below we will distinguish theorems by SSA for "state, sketch the proof, and apply" and SA for "state and apply." This listing of theorems is not intended to be complete but we do try to mention the most important ones.

The theorem provides an enlargement of the initial domain of analyticity, which then can be used for the construction of envelopes of holomorphy.
The Edge of the Wedge theorem, together with the methods of analytic completion, are also of considerabele interest for theories with broken Lorentz invariance.
The theorem is the basis for a proof that microcausality, and non-negative energy in all frames, imply the standard, invariant energy-momentom relations, even if Lorentz invariance is violated otherwise.

This is expressed by the theorem of dimension invariance of Brouwer (Brouwer(1976)):
A proof of this theorem is given in Brouwer(1976).
If one wants to avoid Brouwer's theorem, in this regard one has to map an n-dataset to a topological space which therefore must not be a manifold.

 Nöther's Theorem   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-09)
If you have a theory based on a variational principle, Nöther's Theorem furnishes you with conservation laws that come from the invariance of the principle under continuous groups of transformations.
A similar result is obtained when infinitesimal rotations are considered, and the conserved quantity is the component of the angular momentum along the axis of the rotation.
In electromagnetism, gauge invariance of the potential, which amounts to adding the gradient of a function to the vector potential, and a time derivative of the function to the scalar potential, which does not change the fields derived from the potentials, gives the conservation of charge.

Abstract: We proof a homotopy invariance theorem for algebraic K-theory of locally convex algebras stabilized by Schatten ideals.
Action functionals present in literature are structured in such a way to reflect $kappa$-Poincaré invariance, renouncing to invariance under cyclic permutations of the arguments of the action functional.
We can support this point of veiw by a theorem which states that if for a certain Dirac operator on a unital C*-algebra, there is no upper limit for the eigenvalues, while keeping the eigen spaces, then the C*-algebra is AF.

It has the desirable properties of statistical invariance (the inference transforms with a re-parametrisation, such as from polar coordinates to Cartesian coordinates), statistical consistency (even for very hard problems, MML will converge to any underlying model) and efficiency (the MML model will converge to any true underlying model about as quickly as is possible).

The results include a smooth homotopy invariance theorem of non-positive algebraic K-theory for algebras which are stable with respect to a harmonic operator ideal.
We study the algebraic K-theory of the tensor product of a sub-harmonic ideal with an arbitrary complex algebra and prove that the obstruction for the periodicity of algebraic K-theory is again cyclic homology.
The main technical tools we use are the diffeotopy invariance theorem of Cuntz and the second author (which we generalize), and the excision theorem for infinitesimal K-theory, due to the first author.

 Noether's theorem and Time invariance?
But in any case I have been reading around about Noether's theorem and about the time invariant nature of general relativity.
From what I can make out Noether's theorem appears to suggest (among other things) that the first law of thermodynamics agrees with Einstein's theory of General relativity in that it predicts that the first law can be considered as time invariant?
So this has led me to wonder somewhat if the first law of thermodynamics would apply equally well in reverse as it does when time is considered to be running forward?

 Topological Robust Control
This line of research has been dedicated to putting into use the arsenal of mathematical tools provided by combinatorial, algebraic, and differential topology in robust control problems.
The boundary behavior of the Nyquist return difference map, as it was introduced by Horowitz in the Quantitative Feedback Theory, is an issue relevant to the celebrated Brouwer domain invariance theorem, the Caratheodory prime end theorem, and the simplicial approximation theorem, the latter being a foundational result of combinatorial, piecewise-linear topology.
Existence of fast robust stability tests on a subspace of uncertainty is an issue relevant to homotopy theory, obstruction theory, and the Fredholm index approach to K-theory as developed by Michael Atiyah.
