Inertial Motion in Teleparallel Gravity and Newtonian Gravitation Theory

This abstract has open access
Abstract Summary

James Read (University of Oxford)

The goal of this paper is to pinpoint the precise reasons for the differing status of inertial motion in TPG versus NG. In so doing, I seek to bring greater clarity to the notion of inertial motion in physical theories more generally. Along the way, I discuss Knox's "Newtonian equivalence principle" (Knox, 2014), and the strand of structuralism about physical theories to which I take Knox to be committed.
