  • Several defining physical properties of Weyl fermions, such as the chiral anomaly, continue to hold in the nonrelativistic condensed matter context.

    “Remarkably several of the defining physical properties of Weyl fermions, such as the so-called chiral anomaly, continue to hold in this nonrelativistic condensed matter context.”

  • A single Weyl fermion coupled to an electromagnetic field results in the nonconservation of electric charge.

    “The chiral anomaly discussed by Adler-Bell-Jackiw (Adler, 1969; Bell and Jackiw, 1969), is an example of a quantum anomaly which in its simplest incarnation demonstrates that a single Weyl fermion coupled to an electromagnetic field results in the nonconservation of electric charge.”

  • The chiral anomaly is associated with Weyl fermions.

    “Perhaps the most primitive example is the so-called chiral anomaly associated with Weyl fermions23456.”

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.
