Abstract
A purely algebraic formalism is introduced in order to describe the relation between current algebras and Lagrangian field theory. It is then applied to the description in differential-geometric terms of the equal-time commutation relations for currents defined by Lagrangians derived from Riemannian metrics on internal-symmetry spaces.Keywords
