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

  • The physical boundary degrees of freedom are the would-be large gauge (or diff) transformations, which become physical and observable in the presence of a boundary.

    “Much like in well-known studies of 3d Chern–Simons and 2d WZW boundary CFT (Elitzur et al. 1989) (and in the BF dimensional reduction discussed briefly in Sect. 3.7.4), the physical boundary degrees of freedom are the would-be large gauge (or diff) transformations, which have become physical and observable in the presence of a boundary.”

  • For compact gauge groups, the quantization of Chern-Simons theory is well understood.

    “For compact gauge groups, the quantization of Chern-Simons theory is well understood [278, 243, 244, 116, 34].”

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.
