Nomic Structure and Reduction
Sean Gryb, Karim P. Y. Thébault
The canonical formulation of physical theories with irregular nomic structure is as constrained Hamiltonian theories within which ill-posedness of the equations of motion is connec…
When scale is surplus
Sean Gryb, David Sloan
We study a long-recognised but under-appreciated symmetry called "dynamical similarity" and illustrate its relevance to many important conceptual problems in fundamental physics. D…
Angular momentum without rotation: turbocharging relationalism
Henrique Gomes, Sean Gryb
Newton's rotating bucket pours cold water on the naive relationalist by vividly illustrating how certain rotational effects, particularly those due to non-zero angular momentum, ca…
New Difficulties for the Past Hypothesis
Sean Gryb
Many macroscopic physical processes are known to occur in a time-directed way despite the apparent time-symmetry of the known fundamental laws. A popular explanation is to postulat…
On the Universality of Hawking Radiation
Sean Gryb, Patricia Palacios, Karim Thébault
A physically consistent semi-classical treatment of black holes requires universality arguments to deal with the `trans-Planckian' problem where quantum spacetime effects appear to…
On the Empirical Consequences of the AdS/CFT Duality
Radin Dardashti, Richard Dawid, Sean Gryb +1
We provide an analysis of the empirical consequences of the AdS/CFT duality with reference to the application of the duality in a fundamental theory, effective theory and instrumen…
