An extendible spacetime without closed timelike curves whose every extension contains closed timelike curves
H. Andréka, J. Madarász, J. Manchak +2
By removing a fractal from time-rolled Minkowski spacetime, we construct an extendible spacetime without closed timelike curves whose every extension contains closed timelike curve…
Deterministic Theories
Hans Halvorson, JB Manchak, James Owen Weatherall
Determinism is (roughly) the thesis that the past determines the future. But efforts to define it precisely have exposed deep methodological disagreements. Standard possible-worlds…
Determinism and Asymmetry in General Relativity
JB Manchak, Thomas Barrett, Hans Halvorson +1
This paper concerns the question of which collections of general relativistic spacetimes are deterministic relative to which definitions. We begin by considering a series of three…
On Automorphism Criteria for Comparing Amounts of Mathematical Structure
Thomas William Barrett, JB Manchak, James Owen Weatherall
Wilhelm (2021) has recently defended a criterion for comparing structure of mathematical objects, which he calls Subgroup. He argues that Subgroup is better than SYM * , another wi…
