Each is checked against this paper’s own text: does it say what the citing paper says it does?

  • The normal branch ρ- does not suffer from the same problems and may provide a healthy effective description of bulk gravity.

    “On the other hand, ρ -, known as the normal branch, does not suffer from the same problems, and may well provide a healthy effective description of bulk gravity (e.g.[10]).”

    From Out of the White Hole: A Holographic Origin for the Big Bang (2014) · cites this paper as [10]

    Section 5 (page unavailable) finds a ghost-like instability in the self-accelerating de Sitter solution. Sections 1 and 4 say that the solution trivial at spatial infinity is stable against small fluctuations under specified source and boundary conditions. The paper does not call this solution the normal branch ρ− or establish that it avoids all the model’s problems; its Introduction and Outlook retain qualifications about quantum predictivity and UV completion. Thus the claim’s broader suggestion of a healthy effective description of bulk gravity goes beyond what the paper shows. (LLM, conf=0.84)

    Experimental — accuracy not yet measured

  • Self-accelerating DGP solutions suffer from ghosts and tachyons as well as some pathological singularities.

    “However, it turned out that SA solutions suffer from ghosts and tachyons [8][9][10][11] as well as some pathological singularities [12].”

    From Out of the White Hole: A Holographic Origin for the Big Bang (2014) · cites this paper as [10]

    Section 5 (de Sitter solution; page unavailable) confirms a ghost-like kinetic term around the self-accelerating solution. It does not establish that this solution has tachyons; section 4 discusses tachyonic instability only as a general possibility. The singularities claim is attached to a different citation, [12]. (LLM, conf=0.87)

    Experimental — accuracy not yet measured

  • The self-accelerating branch suffers from a negative energy ghost instability.

    “However, as discussed in the introduction, SA branch suffers from a negative energy ghost instability.”

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.
