GENERAL COVARIANCE, DIFFEOMORPHISM INVARIANCE, AND BACKGROUND INDEPENDENCE IN 5 DIMENSIONS.
The paper considers the "GR-desideratum," that is, the way general relativity implements general covariance, diffeomorphism invariance, and background independence. Two cases are discussed where 5-dimensional generalizations of general relativity run into interpretational troubles when the GR-deside...

Two cases are discussed where 5-dimensional generalizations of general relativity run into interpretational troubles when the GR-desideratum is forced upon them. It is shown how the conceptual problems dissolve when such a desideratum is relaxed. In the end, it is suggested that a similar strategy might mitigate some major issues such as the problem of time or the embedding of quantum non-locality into relativistic spacetimes. pubtype: Academic Journal doctype: Article src: R language: English refInfo: copyright: @attributes: flag: Y custom: Copyright of Poznan Studies in the Philosophy of the Sciences & the Humanities is the property of Brill / Rodopi and its content may not be copied or emailed to multiple sites without the copyright holder's express written permission.
