“Therefore, if the chemical potential (Fermi level) lies inside the bandgap, as it should in purely insulating Bi 2 Se 3 , its surface must carry a global π mod 2π Berry phase.”

The “Strong topological insulator” section says that an electron circling a surface Fermi arc acquires a quantized Berry phase when the arc encloses a single Dirac point (page unavailable in our copy). It does not establish this for Bi₂Se₃ or say that placing the chemical potential in a bulk gap alone guarantees it; the result is conditional on the strong topological-insulator phase.

Section II describes a Z₂ classification of band insulators, supporting the attribution of the classification scheme to this paper. But the paper’s materials discussion identifies Bi₁₋ₓSbₓ, strained α-Sn and HgTe—not Bi₂Se₃—as strong topological insulators. It does not provide evidence for the claimed classification of insulating Bi₂Se₃. Page numbers were unavailable in our copy. (LLM, conf=0.86)

“Its simplest topological surface spectrum would make it possible to observe and study many exotic quantum phenomena predicted in topological field theories, such as the Majorana fermions 14 , magnetic monopole image 9,10 or topological exciton condensates 15 , by transport probes.”

Citation 14 is attached to Majorana fermions, not to the separately cited magnetic-monopole image or exciton condensates. The paper predicts Majorana bound states on a proximitized topological-insulator surface (p. 1) and proposes measuring thermal conductance along a junction as a probe of its Majorana modes (p. 4).

The opening passage (p. 1) says that a charge near a topological-insulator surface induces an image magnetic monopole and that its field can be measured experimentally. The experimental proposal (p. 4) describes detecting a resulting supercurrent with a superconducting ring. This supports the magnetic-monopole-image example to which this citation is attached; the other examples have separate citations. (LLM, conf=0.92)

The paper’s discussion of Z₂ invariants (Eq. 1.1) defines the classification through a parity product, (−1)^ν, and says the invariant distinguishes nontrivial topological phases. This supports using the paper to identify the −1 class; it does not need to calculate the citing authors’ particular topology. (LLM, conf=0.88)

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.
A language model drew the claims from the paper on 2026-10-11, under version 3 of the claim definition (model deepseek-v4.1-flash, prompt extract-v3).
A second model labelled each claim on 2026-10-11 (model jev-1.13-20260917, definition revision gold-guideline-v0.2).
Cited sources are checked with a language model’s help (gpt-6-sol).
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.
