Claims other papers make about this one

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

  • The helicity flux density s is also the candidate for the spin density of an optical field, and its volume integral is the total spin S of an optical field.

    “Remarkably, the helicity flux density, s , is also the candidate for the spin density of an optical field that was put forward recently by one of us [3]. Indeed, the volume integral of s is the total spin, S , of an optical field [3-5, 31, 37]”

    From Optical helicity of interfering waves (2014) · cites this paper as [31]

    The passages on optical molasses describe light polarization and an atom’s position-dependent elliptical helicity, not the helicity flux density of an optical field. A search for helicity flux density, spin density, and total spin found no passage stating that the volume integral of s gives the field’s total spin. (LLM, conf=0.73)

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.
