GR as a classical spin-2 theory?
Niels Linnemann, Chris Smeenk, Mark Robert Baker
The self-interaction spin-2 approach to general relativity (GR) has been extremely influential in the particle physics community. Leaving no doubt regarding its heuristic value, we…
Dark Energy or Modified Gravity?
Chris Smeenk, James Owen Weatherall
We consider some of the epistemic benefits of exploring "theory space" in the context of modifications of general relativity with intended applications in cosmology. We show how st…
What Is In a Survey? Simulation-Induced Selection Effects in Astronomy
Sarah C. Gallagher, Chris Smeenk
Observational astronomy is plagued with selection effects that must be taken into account when interpreting data from astronomical surveys. Because of the physical limitations of o…
Noether's first theorem and the energy-momentum tensor ambiguity problem
Mark Robert Baker, Niels Linnemann, Chris Smeenk
Noether's theorems are widely praised as some of the most beautiful and useful results in physics. However, if one reads the majority of standard texts and literature on the applic…
