Article introduces coincident general relativity and assesses its philosophical significance.
The nodes of the ‘geometric trinity’ are: (i) general relativity (in which grav itational effects are a manifestation of spacetime curvature), (ii) the ‘teleparallel equivalent’ of general relativity (which trades spacetime curvature for torsion), and(iii) the ‘symmetric teleparallel equivalent’ of general relativity (which trades spacetime curvature for non-metricity). Onepopularreformulationof(iii)is‘co incident general relativity’, but this theory has yet to receive any philosophical attention. This article aims both to introduce philosophers to coincident general relativity, and to undertake a detailed assessment of its features.
