| contents | In this article, we analyze the Pontryagin model adopting different geometric-covariant approaches. In particular, we focus on the manner in which boundary conditions must be imposed on the background manifold in order to reproduce an unambiguous theory on the boundary. At a Lagrangian level, we describe the symmetries of the theory and construct the Lagrangian covariant momentum map which allows for an extension of Noether's theorems. Through the multisymplectic analysis we obtain the covariant momentum map associated with the action of the gauge group on the covariant multimomenta phase-space. By performing a space plus time decomposition by means of a foliation of the appropriate bundles, we are able to recover not only the $t$-instantaneous Lagrangian and Hamiltonian of the theory, but also the generator of the gauge transformations. In the polysymplectic framework we perform a Poisson-Hamilton analysis with the help of the De Donder-Weyl Hamiltonian and the Poisson-Gerstenhaber bracket. Remarkably, as long as we consider a background manifold with boundary, in all of these geometric formulations, we are able to recover the so-called differentiability conditions as a straightforward consequence of Noether's theorem. |
