论文摘要
在这两部分的论文中,我们区分了几种感觉,其中一般相对论被认为是“本地特殊的相对论”。在第1部分中,我们专注于相对论时期的感觉,可以说是“本地(大约)Minkowskian”。在这里,在第2部分中,我们考虑说问题理论是“本地特殊的相关性”可能意味着什么。我们隔离和评估文献中的三个标准,并表明它们是不兼容的:满足一个的物质理论通常会违反他人。然后,我们考虑如果这些标准中的任何一个因给定理论失败,将会发生什么。
In this two-part essay, we distinguish several senses in which general relativity has been regarded as "locally special relativistic". In Part 1, we focused on senses in which a relativistic spacetime may be said to be "locally (approximately) Minkowskian". Here, in Part 2, we consider what it might mean to say that a matter theory is "locally special relativisitc". We isolate and evaluate three criteria in the literature and show that they are incompatible: matter theories satisfying one will generally violate others. We then consider what would happen if any of those criteria failed for a given theory.
