Mechanics as a general-relativistic gauge field theory, and Relational Quantization
J. François, J. François, L. Ravera
We treat the Mechanics of point particles as a 1-dimensional general-relativistic gauge field theory, which may be referred to as Mechanical Field Theory (MFT), exploiting the bund…

What Price Fiber Bundle Substantivalism? On How to Avoid Holes in Fibers
Philipp Berghofer, Jordan François, Lucrezia Ravera
On a mathematically foundational level, our most successful physical theories (gauge field theories and general-relativistic theories) are formulated in a framework based on the di…

Geometric relational framework for general-relativistic gauge field theories
Jordan François, Lucrezia Ravera
We remind how relationality arises as the core insight of general-relativistic gauge field theories from the articulation of the generalised hole and point-coincidence arguments. H…
