Abstract

The issue of whether some manifestations of gravitation in the quantum domain, are indicative or not of a non-geometrical aspect in gravitation is discussed. We examine some examples that have been considered in this context, providing a critical analysis of previous interpretations. The analysis of these examples is illustrative about certain details in the interpretation of quantum mechanics. We conclude that there are, at this time, no indications of such departure from the geometrical character of gravitation.
