We study the Galilean symmetry in a nonrelativistic model involving the coupling of a nonabelian Chern Simons term with matter fields. The validity of the classical Galilean algebra on the constraint surface is demonstrated in the gauge independent formalism. An identical conclusion also holds for t

✦ Synopsis
The symmetry algebra of the planar nonlinear Schrödinger equation minimally coupled to Chern-Simons gauge fields is systematically determined. It is confirmed to be the semidirect sum of the eight dimensional Schrödinger algebra sch(2) (with no central extension) and of the infinitesimal gauge transformation algebra. The conditional symmetries that arise when self-duality is imposed are also discussed and found to have, as expected, a Kac-MoodyVirasoro structure. Several examples of symmetry reductions to ordinary differential equations are presented and non-self-dual solutions are obtained. The non-self-dual system is shown not to have the Painleve property. 1994 Academic Press. Inc

As found by Bordemann and Hoppe and by Jevicki, a certain non-relativistic model of an irrotational and isentropic fluid, related to membranes and to partons, admits a Poincare symmetry. Bazeia and Jackiw associate this dynamical symmetry to a novel type of fielddependent action on space time. The K
