Minkowski space-time: a glorious non-entity
Harvey R. Brown, Oliver Pooley
Einstein distinguished between ``principle'' and ``constructive'' theories in physics, and although he thought the latter were more explanatory than the former, he regarded his 190…
Proper and Improper Separability
Christopher G Timpson, Harvey R Brown
The distinction between proper and improper mixtures is a staple of the discussion of foundational questions in quantum mechanics. Here we note an analogous distinction in the cont…
Entanglement and Relativity
C. G. Timpson, H. R. Brown
In this paper we survey, in an elementary fashion, some of the questions that arise when one considers how entanglement and relativity are related via the notion of non-locality. W…
Noether's Theorems and Gauge Symmetries
Katherine Brading, Harvey R. Brown
Consideration of the Noether variational problem for any theory whose action is invariant under global and/or local gauge transformations leads to three distinct theorems. These in…
The origin of the spacetime metric: Bell's `Lorentzian pedagogy' and its significance in general relativity
Harvey R. Brown, Oliver Pooley
The purpose of this paper is to evaluate the `Lorentzian pedagogy' defended by J.S. Bell in his essay ``How to teach special relativity'', and to explore its consistency with Einst…
