Abstract

In the first-order formalism, pure three-dimensional gravity is just the BF theory.Similarly, four-dimensional general relativity can be formulated as BF theory with an additional constraint term added to the Lagrangian.In this paper we show

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

  • Important results on deriving black hole entropy were obtained in canonical loop quantum gravity [117], and a first attempt in a 3D spin foam model is in [118], but a complete satisfactory procedure in four dimensions is still missing.

    “Important results were already obtained in the canonical loop quantum gravity approach [117], and a first attempt to perform this derivation in the context of a spin foam model in 3D is in [118], but a complete and satisfactory procedure in the four-dimensional case is still missing and would be of paramount importance.”

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.
