Does Quantum Cosmology Predict the Age of the Universe?
Álvaro Mozota Frauca
The problem of time of quantum gravity has been argued to make canonical approaches unsatisfactory. In this article I study how it affects quantum cosmology and reach the same conc…
Against Radical Relationalism: in Defense of the Ordinal Structure of Time
Álvaro Mozota Frauca
Some authors in the quantum gravity community endorse, explicitly or implicitly, a radical relationalist view of time which states that the ordinal structure of time is not needed…
GPS Observables in Newtonian Spacetime or Why We Do Not Need 'Physical' Coordinate Systems
Álvaro Mozota Frauca
Some authors have defended the claim that one needs to be able to define 'physical coordinate systems' and 'observables' in order to make sense of general relativity. Moreover, in…
In Which Sense Can We Say That First-Class Constraints Generate Gauge Transformations?
Álvaro Mozota Frauca
In this paper, I consider a recent controversy about whether first-class constraints generate gauge transformations in the case of electromagnetism. I argue that there is a notion…
