Data confidence 70 medium
How this score is calculated

It is built from checkable properties of the record itself: whether the article has a DOI, how many independent sources confirmed its data, whether the required fields are filled in, and how recent the latest confirmation is. Disagreement between sources and a missing identifier lower it. A value of 80 or above means the record was published without further checking; 60 to 79 means it is published at reduced confidence, with a manual check advisable. A record verified by an editor by hand is never pushed below 90 by a recalculation. This scores our data about the article, not the article itself.

Abstract

A bstract Parity-inverted anti-de Sitter space — “flipped AdS” — is studied through the accelerating boundary correspondence of a moving mirror trajectory. The particle production exhibits positive energy flux and a finite total energy (unlike AdS and de Sitter respectively). The particle spectrum is of Whittaker form, with some similarities to a Planck thermal spectrum. We also derive the corresponding spacetime metric, with similarities to regular de Sitter space, but exhibiting a tower of repeated causal regions with horizons.
