  • For 2+1 black hole solutions, dynamics at either the horizon or the boundary at infinity can lead to local degrees of freedom.

    “For such solutions, dynamics at either the horizon or the boundary at infinity can lead to local degrees of freedom [78, 247, 59, 96, 51, 24, 91]”

    From Quantum Gravity in 2 + 1 Dimensions: The Case of a Closed Universe (2005) · cites this paper as [59]

    The Introduction (p. 2) describes asymptotic Virasoro symmetries of three-dimensional anti-de Sitter gravity, and §3 (p. 5) uses their generators to count states. This supports a boundary-related part of the claim, but the paper does not say that horizon dynamics can produce local degrees of freedom, nor does it explicitly characterize the asymptotic states as local degrees of freedom.

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.
