In Refs.[31] and [32] it was shown, for a massive non-minimally coupled field in a de Sitter minisuperspace model, that the regularity condition is satisfied in the entire classical range if it is satisfied at any one point in this range.
“In Refs.[31] and [32] it was shown, for a massive non-minimally coupled field in a de Sitter minisuperspace model, that the regularity condition is satisfied in the entire classical range if it is satisfied at any one point in this range.”
From On Quantum Creation of a Toroidal Universe (2026) · cites this paper as [32]
Section II (page unavailable) discusses scalar-field instantons and well-defined fluctuations near a singularity, but does not state the claimed regularity condition or its persistence across the classical range. Searches for that condition and for a massive non-minimally coupled field in a de Sitter minisuperspace model found no passage addressing the claim. (LLM, conf=0.75)
Experimental — accuracy not yet measuredFor a free scalar field of arbitrary mass with non-minimal Rφ^2 coupling, the tunneling condition uniquely specifies the full quantum state.
“Refs.[28][29][30][31][32] collectively show that for a free scalar field of arbitrary mass, with a non-minimal Rϕ 2 coupling to gravity, the tunneling condition uniquely specifies the full quantum state.”
From On Quantum Creation of a Toroidal Universe (2026) · cites this paper as [32]
The Introduction and §II (page unavailable) describe the Hartle–Hawking prescription and defining fluctuations by continuation from a Euclidean region. Searches for a tunneling condition, a non-minimal Rφ² coupling, arbitrary scalar mass, and unique specification of the full quantum state found no passage addressing the attributed claim. (LLM, conf=0.76)

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.
