In the citing paper
“Hoefer (2000), Lam (2011), and Duerr (2019, 2019a) have criticised, and Read (2020) has defended, local definitions of energy and momentum, in particular those involving the energy pseudo-tensor.”

In the citing paper
“For example, Hoefer (2000: pp. 194-195) has stressed that the expressions for energy and momentum, even in their integrated form Eq. (50), are coordinate-dependent, and so are ill-defined-as I already mentioned at the end of Section 3.”

In the citing paper
“Thus Hoefer's (2000) argument that the quantities are not well-defined still seems to have some force, because a satisfactory definition of energy and stress would involve either giving their transformation rules or else giving a physical interpretation of the noncovariance (e.g. as in the case with boundaries, see Section 6.3).”

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.
