Claims the paper makes

We couldn’t retrieve this paper’s full text, so its claims and self-check weren’t run. The registry and citation checks still apply.

Claims other papers make about this one

Each is checked against this paper’s own text: does it say what the citing paper says it does?

  • The FKS catastrophe turns Coleman's cosmological constant calculation into an argument for an overdensity of large wormholes.

    “We start with the FKS catastrophe (Fischler and Susskind, 1989;Kaplunovsky, unpublished), which turns Coleman's cosmological constant calculation into an argument for an overdensity of large wormholes.”

  • The double exponential P(α) is responsible both for the initial excitement in wormhole physics (Coleman's solution to the cosmological constant problem) and for a particularly serious conceptual problem (the FKS catastrophe).

    “As discussed later, the double exponential P(α) is responsible both for the initial excitement in wormhole physics (Coleman's solution to the cosmological constant problem Coleman, 1988c) as well as for a particularly serious conceptual problem (the FKS catastrophe Fischler and Susskind, 1989; Kaplunovsky, unpublished).”

  • Severe problems in the picture of a macroscopic spacetime surrounded by baby universes were uncovered.

    “As part of these investigations, severe problems in the resulting picture of a macroscopic spacetime surrounded by baby universes were uncovered (Fischler and Susskind, 1989;Kaplunovsky, unpublished;Polchinski, 1989b;Hawking, 1990b).”

    From Euclidean Wormholes, Baby Universes, and Their Impact on Particle Physics and Cosmology (2018) · cites this paper as Fischler and Susskind, 1989

  • Fischler, Kaplunovsky and Susskind argued that an inconsistency may be hidden in Coleman's wormhole-based calculation; they extended Coleman's argument by including an R^2 term and Wilsonian RG running and found an overdensity of wormholes, even of large radius.

    “Following Coleman's intriguing proposal for a wormhole-based solution to the cosmological constant problem (Coleman, 1988c), Fischler, Kaplunovsky and Susskind have argued that an inconsistency may be hidden in the underlying calculation (Fischler and Susskind, 1989;Kaplunovsk, unpublished).Concretely, they extended Coleman's argument by including an R 2 term in the action and by allowing for Wil”

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.
