Each is checked against this paper’s own text: does it say what the citing paper says it does?
In the citing paper
“The Ponzano-Regge and Turaev-Viro models are examples of “spin foam” models [35, 222], that is, a model based on simplicial complexes with faces, edges, and vertices labeled by group representations and intertwiners.”
From Quantum Gravity in 2 + 1 Dimensions: The Case of a Closed Universe (2005) · cites this paper as [35]
In the citing paper
“The theory has no local excitations: all solutions of the equations of motion are locally related by gauge transformations.”
From The Spin-Foam Approach to Quantum Gravity (2013) · cites this paper as [39]
In the citing paper
“The recent spin-foam models of Barrett-Crane [8], Engle-Pereira-Rovelli-Livine [6] and FreidelKrasnov [15] fall into a common scheme.”
From Spin-foams for all loop quantum gravity (2010) · cites this paper as [8]
In the citing paper
“Livine and Speziale have found an independent derivation of the vertex proposed here [45], based on the use of the coherent states they have introduced in [18].”
From Flipped spinfoam vertex and loop gravity (2008) · cites this paper as [18]

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
