fibred manifold; Lagrangian; Lepage form; conservation laws; relativistic mechanics
Summary:
In the presented paper we apply the theory of Lepage forms on jet prolongations of fibred manifold with one-dimensional base to the relativistic mechanics. Using this geometrical theory, we obtain and discuss some well-known conservation laws in their general form and apply them to a concrete physical example.
