Linking Numbers, Spin, and Statistics of Solitons
Abstract
The spin and statistics of solitons in the (2+1)- and (3+1)-dimensional nonlinear $\ensuremath{\sigma}$ models is considered. For the (2+1)-dimensional case, there is the possibility of fractional spin and exotic statistics; for 3+1 dimensions the usual spin-statistics relation is demonstrated. The linking-number interpretation of the Hopf invariant and the use of suspension considerably simplify the analysis.

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.
