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...
