Proof of the Positive-Action Conjecture in Quantum Relativity
Abstract
We extend our previous method of proving the positive-mass conjecture to prove the positive-action conjecture of Hawking for asymptotically Euclidean metric. This result is crucial in proving the path integral convergent in the Euclidean quantum gravity theory.

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.
