On Identifying Background-Structure in Classical Field Theories
background-structure background-independence geometric objects absolute objects space-time structures Newton Einstein Newtonian mechanics Newtonian gravitation general relativity classical field theories action-reaction principle Trautman-Anderson-Friedman programme
2016/6/15
I examine a property of theories called ‘background-independence’ that Einsteinian gravitation is thought to exemplify. This concept has figured in the work of Rovelli (2001; 2004), Smolin (2006), Giu...
On the Galoisian Structure of Heisenberg Indeterminacy Principle
Galois-Grothendieck Theory Quantum mechanics Heisenberg Indeterminacy Principle, Symmetries/Invariants
2016/6/15
We revisit Heisenberg indeterminacy principle in the light of the Galois-Grothendieck theory for the case of finite abelian Galois extensions. In this restricted framework, the Galois-Grothendieck dua...
The Entanglement Structure of Quantum Field Systems
relativistic quantum field theory algebraic approach ontology quantum fields quantum entanglement Reeh-Schlieder theorem non-separability ontic structural realism
2016/6/14
This essay considers the question of the ontology of relativistic quantum field theory (RQFT). It aims to discuss possible implications of the peculiarities of quantum entanglement and quantum non-loc...
On the Structure of Classical Mechanics
classical mechanics structure Lagrangian mechanics Hamiltonian mechanics statespace
2016/6/12
Jill North (North, 2009) has recently argued that Hamiltonian mechanics ascribes less structure to the world than Lagrangian mechanics does. I will argue that North's argument is not sound. In doing s...
Jill North argues that Hamiltonian mechanics provides the most spare -- and hence most accurate -- account of the structure of a classical world. We point out some difficulties for her argument, and r...
I argue that the fundamental space of a quantum mechanical world is the wavefunction's space. I argue for this using some very general principles that guide our inferences to the fundamental nature of...
Five Decades of Structure:A Retrospective View

2016/5/30
This paper is an introduction to the special issue commemorating the 50th anniversary of the publication of The Structure of Scientific Revolutions by Thomas Kuhn. It introduces some main ideas of Str...
On the role played by the work of Ulisse Dini on implicit function theory in the modern differential geometry foundations:the case of the structure of a differentiable manifold,1

In this first paper we outline what possible historic-epistemological role might have played the work of Ulisse Dini on implicit function theory in formulating the structure of differentiable manifold...
Primitive Ontology and the Structure of Fundamental Physical Theories
Quantum theories primitive ontology wave function ontology symmetry properties
2016/5/27
For a long time, it was believed that it was impossible to be realist about quantum mechanics. It took quite a while for the researchers in the foundations of physics, beginning with John Stuart Bell ...

The objective of this article is to sketch an historical analysis of the change in the philosophy of science that took place in the 1950s and 1960s around the time of the publication of Structure by T...

The objective of this article is to sketch an historical analysis of the change in the philosophy of science that took place in the 1950s and 1960s around the time of the publication of Structure by T...
This paper suggests a structure that makes room for a class of solutions to the mental causation problem.
This article aims to give an overview of Carnap’s 1928 book "Logical Structure of the World" or "Aufbau" and the most influential interpretations of its significance. After giving an outline of the bo...
This presentation will investigate the parts of space, and its relationship with metrical structure, in Newton’s natural philosophy. The historical background to Newton’s claims will form an important...
On the Common Structure of Bohmian Mechanics and the Ghirardi-Rimini-Weber Theory

2008/4/22
Bohmian mechanics and the Ghirardi-Rimini-Weber theory provide opposite resolutions of the quantum measurement problem: the former postulates additional variables (the particle positions) besides the ...
