It is often said in physics that if two models of a theory are related by a symmetry, then the
two models provide (or could provide) two different representations of the very same …

The arrow of time refers to the curious asymmetry that distinguishes the future from the past.
Reversing the Arrow of Time argues that there is an intimate link between the symmetries …

In the recent philosophical debate about the relationship between symmetries and physical
equivalence, two approaches have been distinguished: motivationalism and …

It is now standard to interpret symmetry-related models of physical theories as representing
the same state of affairs. Recently, a debate has sprung up around the question when this …

In the recent philosophical literature, several counterexamples to the interpretative principle
that symmetry-related models are physically equivalent have been suggested (Belot, in …

The aim of this thesis is to extend the success of a novel strategy for the interpretation of
symmetry-related models—sophistication—to contemporary physical theories' internal …

I address the view that the classical electromagnetic potentials are shown by the Aharonov–
Bohm effect to be physically real (which I dub:'the potentials view'). I give a historico …

This Element provides an entry point for philosophical engagement with quantization and
the classical limit. It introduces the mathematical tools of C*-algebras as they are used to …

I propose the “Propositional Account” of effective quantum field theories. According to the
Propositional Account, each effective quantum field theory expresses propositions about …

I develop and motivate an extension of the categorical equivalence programme to the full
space of kinematically possible models of a theory, beginning with a problem case from first …
