摘要：
Ten conservation laws in useful polynomial form are derived from a Cartan form and exterior differential system (EDS) for the tetrad equations of vacuum general relativity. The Noether construction of conservation laws for well-posed EDSs is introduced first, and an illustration given, deriving 15 conservation laws of the free field Maxwell equations from symmetries of its EDS. The Maxwell EDS and tetrad gravity EDS have parallel structures, with their numbers of dependent variables, numbers of generating 2-forms and generating 3-forms, and Cartan character tables all in the ratio of 1 to 4. They have ten corresponding symmetries with the same Lorentz algebra and ten corresponding conservation laws.
