Guidelines
The student should become familiar with the symmetry reduction of Lagrangians and its justification by the principle of symmetric criticality [1-3] (and references therein). If satisfied, the principle of symmetric criticality guarantees that the field equations of the symmetry-reduced Lagrangians are equivalent to the symmetry-reduced field equations for all theories (with a given dynamical field). The main objective is to formulate the problem explicitly for the case of the electromagnetic field in a fixed background spacetime and demonstrate its validity on some PSC-satisfying/violating examples within the Maxwell theory and the nonlinear electrodynamics (e.g., [4] and references therein).
