A Contextual Approach to Technological Understanding and Its Assessment
Eline de Jong, Sebastian De Haro
Technological understanding is not a singular concept but varies depending on context. Building on De Jong and De Haro's (2025) notion of technological understanding as the ability…
Noether's Theorems and Energy in General Relativity
Sebastian De Haro
This paper has three main aims: first, to give a pedagogical introduction to Noether's two theorems and their implications for energy conservation in general relativity, which was…
The Empirical Under-determination Argument Against Scientific Realism for Dual Theories
Sebastian De Haro
This paper explores the options available to the anti-realist to defend a Quinean empirical under-determination thesis using examples of dualities. I first explicate a version of t…
Conceptual Analysis of Black Hole Entropy in String Theory
Sebastian De Haro, Jeroen van Dongen, Manus Visser +1
The microscopic state counting of the extremal Reissner-Nordström black hole performed by Andrew Strominger and Cumrun Vafa in 1996 has proven to be a central result in string theo…
A Schema for Duality, Illustrated by Bosonization
Sebastian De Haro, Jeremy Butterfield
In this paper we present a schema for describing dualities between physical theories (Sections 2 and 3), and illustrate it in detail with the example of bosonization: a boson-fermi…
Comparing Dualities and Gauge Symmetries
Sebastian De Haro, Nicholas Teh, Jeremy N. Butterfield
We discuss some aspects of the relation between dualities and gauge symmetries. Both of these ideas are of course multi-faceted, and we confine ourselves to making two points. Both…
