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…
Abnormal light propagation and the underdetermination of theory by evidence in astrophysics
Felipe A. Asenjo, Sergio A. Hojman, Niels Linnemann +1
We investigate the propagation of certain non-plane wave solutions to Maxwell's equations in both flat and curved spacetimes. We find that such solutions (or rather parts of them)…
The local validity of special relativity from a scale-relative perspective
Niels Linnemann, James Read, Nicholas Teh
Most contemporary physicists hold that the local validity of special relativity (SR) within general relativity (GR) is expressed by means of an interdependent cluster of mathematic…
The Constructivist's Programme and the Problem of Pregeometry
Niels Linnemann, Kian Salimkhani
Prominently, Norton (2008) argues against constructivism about spacetime theories, the doctrine that spatiotemporal structure in the dynamics only has derivative status. Among othe…
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…
Holography without holography: How to turn inter-representational into intra-theoretical relations in AdS/CFT
Rasmus Jaksland, Niels S. Linnemann
We show by means of the AdS/CFT correspondence in the context of quantum gravity how inter-representational relations - loosely speaking relations among different equivalent repres…
