The Non-Relativistic Geometric Trinity of Gravity
William J. Wolf, James Read, Quentin Vigneron
The geometric trinity of gravity comprises three distinct formulations of general relativity: (i) the standard formulation describing gravity in terms of spacetime curvature, (ii)…
Underdetermination in Classic and Modern Tests of General Relativity
William J. Wolf, Marco Sanchioni, James Read
Canonically, `classic' tests of general relativity (GR) include perihelion precession, the bending of light around stars, and gravitational redshift; `modern' tests have to do with…
Tachyonic media in analogue models of special relativity
Sundance O. Bilson-Thompson, Scott L. Todd, James Read +2
In sonic models of special relativity, the fact that the sonic medium violates (ordinary) Lorentz symmetry is apparent to observers external to the sonic medium but not to a class…
Abnormal light propagation and the underdetermination of theory by evidence in astrophysics
Felipe A. Asenjo, Sergio A. Hojman, Niels Linnemann +1
We investigate the propagation of certain non-plane wave solutions to Maxwell's equations in both flat and curved spacetimes. We find that such solutions (or rather parts of them)…
Respecting Boundaries: Theoretical Equivalence and Structure Beyond Dynamics
William J. Wolf, James Read
A standard line in the contemporary philosophical literature has it that physical theories are equivalent only when they agree on their empirical content, where this empirical cont…
