A standard line in the contemporary philosophical literature has it that physical theories are

Drawing on 'interpretational'accounts of scientific representation, I argue that the use of so-
called 'toy models' provides no particular philosophical puzzle. More specifically; I argue that …

Formal criteria of theoretical equivalence are mathematical mappings between specific sorts
of mathematical objects, notably including those objects used in mathematical physics …

Models and theories are of central importance in science, and scientists spend substantial
amounts of time building, testing, comparing and revising models and theories. It is therefore …

I review the philosophical literature on the question of when two physical theories are
equivalent. This includes a discussion of empirical equivalence, which is often taken to be …

Teleparallel gravity shares many qualitative features with general relativity, but differs from it
