Categories and the Foundations of Classical Field Theories
In Elaine Landry (ed.), Categories for the Working Philosopher. Oxford, UK: Oxford University Press (forthcoming)
Abstract
I review some recent work on applications of category theory to questions concerning theoretical structure and theoretical equivalence of classical field theories, including Newtonian gravitation, general relativity, and Yang-Mills theories.Author's Profile
