Abstract:
Higher order conservation laws, associated with conserved antisymmetric tensors j μ1...μkj~{\mu_1 ... \mu_k} fulfilling μ1j μ1...μk0\partial_{\mu_1} j~{\mu_1 ... \mu_k} \approx 0, are shown to define rigid symmetries of the master equation. They thus lead to independent Ward identities which are explicitly derived.
