The auto-didactic way that I > understand Noether's theorem is this: > > Suppose that we have a parameterized family of paths x(l,t) > such that L(x,v) is invariant under changes of the parameter l.
Your point is well-taken, but Noether's theorem IS meant to handle this case.
In one version of the theorem a "symmetry" of the Lagrangian is an infinitesimal transformation that changes the Lagrangian by a total derivative of a function.

 Noether's theorem
Noether's theorem is one of the topics in focus at Global Oneness.
The word "symmetry" in the previous paragraph really means the covariance of the form that a physical law takes with respect to a one-dimensional Lie group of transformations which satisfies certain technical criteria.
The most important examples of the theorem are the following: the energy is conserved if and only if the physical laws are invariant under time translations (if their form does not depend on time) the momentu...

Noether's theorem is an amazing result which lets physicists get conserved quantities from symmetries of the laws of nature.
This result, proved in 1915 by Emmy Noether shortly after she first arrived in Goettingen, was praised by Einstein as a piece of "penetrating mathematical thinking".
In other words: if someone claims Noether's theorem says "every symmetry gives a conserved quantity", they are telling a half-truth.

 Manuscripts
Immediately after their publication in the mid 1930s these theorems found their way into group theory textbooks, with the comment that those theorems are of fundamental importance in connection with the classical Sylow theorems.
It is planned to use it, together with our manuscript of March 17, 2001 on the Brauer-Hasse-Noether theorem, as a basis for a larger exposition on the history of the theory of algebras.
Originally developed for algebraic number fields in the context of class field theory, it has turned out that it is valid quite generally, for arbitrary multi-valued fields, provided the valuations are of rank one or, more generally, are mutually independent and dense in their respective henselizations.

On February, 4, we studied the basic properties of ODE (theorem on existence and uniqueness of solutions, theorem on continuation of solutions), contracting mappings and Picard approximations.
We didn't reach Noether's theorem, which you should read yourselves: the point is that if this 1-parameter group is "good" enough (like, it acts on the configuration space of the Lagrangean system, NOT the phase space!), than there exists the corresponding first integral.
On March, 18, I proved Arnol'd's-Kolmogorov's theorem on analytic reduction of a circle diffeomorphism to rotation and gave some examples of KAM theorems and their applications.

Delfim F. Torres, A Proper Extension of Noethers Symmetry Theorem for Nonsmooth Extremals of the Calculus of Variations.
We show that Emmy Noethers theorem of the calculus of variations is still valid in the wider class of Lipschitz functions, as long as one restrict the Euler-Lagrange extremals to those which satisfy the DuBois-Reymond necessary condition.
This is in contrast with the recent developments of Noethers symmetry theorems to the optimal control setting, which give rise to non-proper extensions when specified for the problems of the calculus of variations.

So, we can apply our Theorem 2.4 and conclude that u(H *) S -1 H * = Un(S -1 H *) and therefore Un(S -1 H *) is Noetherian of the same Krull dimension as u(H *) over which it is finite and integral by Theorem 3.1.

This could have deep consequences on the conservation of energy as I’m sure you know (Noethers Theorem).

 Angular momentum vs the Hamiltonian problem in the Dirac field theory (canonical) Text - Physics Forums Library
Conserved currents are based on Noethers theorem and directly connected to spacetime and field transformations (rotations, translations, phase,...).
First of all,the canonical momentum densities are part of the Hamiltonian analysis of a field theory,so they have nothing to do with Lagrangian theory and the consequences of its Noether theorem.The correct form for the spin tensor for the Dirac field is (quote from D.BailinandA.Love:"Introduction to gauge field theory",I.O.P.Publishing,1994,(the reprinted second edition from 1993),p.33):
As in this case I can from Noethers theorem find a conserved quantity, the energy, which is the same as the Hamiltonian expression.
