Background Independence in Classical and Quantum Gravity
Read, Dr James (Associate Professor, Faculty of Philosophy, University of Oxford and Tutorial Fellow, Pembroke College, Oxford)
It is often claimed that any quantum theory of gravity needs its defining equations to be independent of a particular spacetime geometry. James Read illuminates our understanding of background independence by mapping its possible definitions and assessing how various classical and quantum theories of gravity fare on these criteria.
