Null Electromagnetic Fields
Abstract
It is shown that a field of null rays is geodetic and shear-free if and only if the associated family of null bivectors includes a solution to Maxwell's equations for charge-free space.

Each is checked against this paper’s own text: does it say what the citing paper says it does?
In the citing paper
“While, for a null Maxwell field 29,38 , the Maxwell and Bianchi equations imply that both conditions Ψ 0 = Ψ 1 = 0 and κ = σ = 0 are trivially satisfied (also in the presence of a possible cosmological constant), the situation is less straightforward in the non-null case.”

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.
