Invariant conserved currents in gravity theories with local Lorentz and diffeomorphism symmetry
read the original abstract
We discuss conservation laws for gravity theories invariant under general coordinate and local Lorentz transformations. We demonstrate the possibility to formulate these conservation laws in many covariant and noncovariant(ly looking) ways. An interesting mathematical fact underlies such a diversity: there is a certain ambiguity in a definition of the (Lorentz-) covariant generalization of the usual Lie derivative. Using this freedom, we develop a general approach to construction of invariant conserved currents generated by an arbitrary vector field on the spacetime. This is done in any dimension, for any Lagrangian of the gravitational field and of a (minimally or nonminimally) coupled matter field. A development of the "regularization via relocalization" scheme is used to obtain finite conserved quantities for asymptotically nonflat solutions. We illustrate how our formalism works by some explicit examples.

Covariant variation and its applications
A metric-compatible covariant variation of tensors has a non-closure anomaly that reproduces electromagnetic helicity flux under superrotations and generalizes to higher-spin and p-form radiative data.
