论文摘要
Ehlers-Pirani-Schild(EPS)于1972年发表的一般相对论的建设性公理化,声称仅从仅具有不可用的经验含量的公理来构建该理论的运动结构。因此,这对认识论和时空理论的形而上学都具有深远的意义。在本文中,我们考虑了基于量子机械输入(第三部分)的EPS公理化向量子相对论的扩展。有两篇伴侣论文,其中我们为EPS公理化提供了教学演练(第一部分),并更广泛地讨论了建设性方法的重要性(第二部分)。
The Ehlers-Pirani-Schild (EPS) constructive axiomatisation of general relativity, published in 1972, purports to build up the kinematical structure of that theory from only axioms which have indubitable empirical content. It is, therefore, of profound significance both to the epistemology and to the metaphysics of spacetime theories. In this article, we consider extensions of the EPS axiomatisation towards quantum general relativity based upon quantum mechanical inputs (Part III). There are two companion papers, in which we provide a pedagogical walkthrough to the EPS axiomatisation (Part I), and discuss the significance of constructive approaches to spacetime structure more generally (Part II).
