Does DESI Provide Evidence for Dynamical Dark Energy?
Nicola Bamonti
Recent results from the Dark Energy Spectroscopic Instrument (DESI) have suggested that dark energy, long considered to be a cosmological constant, may actually be \lq{}dynamical\r…
Apples Falling, Buckets Rolling, and Why Inertia Keeps Trolling: Inertial Motion is Not Natural Motion
Nicola Bamonti
Inertia has long been treated as the paradigm of natural motion. This paper challenges this identification through the lens of General Relativity. Drawing on Norton (2012)'s distin…
The Hole Argument for Reference Frames
Nicola Bamonti, Henrique Gomes
We exploit the results of Bamonti and Gomes (2024) concerning the dynamical (un)coupling of reference frames to gravity to analyse the role of reference frames in the Hole Argument…
Reference Frames and the Ontology of General Relativity. Re(l)ality: The View From Nowhere vs. The View From Everywhere
Nicola Bamonti
In General Relativity, the genuine observable quantities are gauge-invariant Dirac observables. One well-known method of constructing them is relational, using reference frames. Th…
What Reference Frames Teach Us. Part I: About Symmetry Principles and Observability
Nicola Bamonti, Henrique Gomes
This paper is an exploration of the nuanced realm of reference frames within the framework of General Relativity. Our analysis exposes a violation of Earman's SP1 principle in scen…
What is a reference frame in General Relativity?
Nicola Bamonti
This work introduces a novel three-fold classification of reference frames in General Relativity, distinguishing between Idealised Reference Frames (IRFs), Dynamical Reference Fram…
