论文摘要
Shape Dynamics是实现Leibnizian哲学和Mach原理的经典动态的另一种独立背景方法。它是宇宙动力学的一种表述，从固有和关系的自由度角度来看，这些自由度是可以观察到的，而不是针对外部参考框架定义的属性。形状动力学不是一个非常古老的研究领域。尽管它已经逐渐从朱利安·巴伯（Julian Barbour）的早期作品中逐渐生动起来，但在1980年代，它的原则上的原则已经使它受到了过去十年中一系列严格的著作的激动。 这项工作是对扩展到莱布尼兹和牛顿哲学的理论的历史和概念基础的详尽回顾，以及当前建立的理论的表述，以及其宇宙学应用的一些主要结果。这项工作的结构包括两个部分：在第一个部分中，我们涵盖了基础和理论的表述（田间和粒子本体论），在第二个理论中，我们研究了其应用，并反思了时间箭头问题的解决方案。我们通过考虑一些最新的思想和前景来进一步发展理论来结束旅程。
Shape dynamics is an alternative background-independent approach to classical dynamics that implements Leibnizian philosophy and Mach's Principles. It is a formulation of the dynamics of the universe in terms of the intrinsic and relational degrees of freedom which are objectively observable and not properties defined with respect to an external frame of reference. Shape dynamics is not a very old field of study. Although it was already gradually coming alive out of Julian Barbour's early works on Mach's Principle back in the 1980s, it was invigorated by a series of rigorous works in the last decade. This work is an exhaustive review of the historical and conceptual underpinning of the theory that extends to Leibniz and Newton's philosophy, and the currently established formulation of the theory, together with some of the major results of its cosmological applications. The structure of this work consists of two parts: In the first one we cover the foundations and the formulation of the theory (both the field and particle ontology), and in the second one we study its applications and reflect on the resolution of the problem of the arrow of time. We end our journey by contemplating some recent ideas and prospects for further developing the theory.
