We make some remarks on the mathematics and metaphysics of the hole argument, in response to a recent article in this journal by Weatherall ([2018]). Broadly speaking, we defend the mainstream philosophical literature from the claim that correct usage of the mathematics of general relativity 'blocks' the argument.

Discussion (0). Continue with ORCID to comment.

  1. On the perturbed Friedmann equations in Newtonian Gauge

    gr-qc 2024-12 conditional novelty 4.0 of 10

    The authors derive the Friedmann equations and their first-order perturbations from Newtonian mechanics and thermodynamics, and show the perturbed equations coincide with general relativity at linear order.
