Ertel's vorticity theorems, the particle relabelling symmetry and the energy-vorticity theory of fluid mechanics

The various vorticity theorems of Ertel are related to a unique symmetry in the substantial or Lagrangian description of fluid mechanics. According to Noether's theorem, this is the particle relabelling symmetry (PRS), also called exchange symmetry. What is missing is a classification of this s...
