Closed access Metadata (CSL-JSON)
DOI 10.11648/j.ajmp.20130203.16
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

The topology change in quantum gravity is modeled by a Ricci flow. In this approach we consider the Ricci flow as a statistical system. The metric in the Ricci flow enumerated by a parameter is a microscopical statistical state. The probability of every microscopical state is determined by this parameter. The Ricci flow starting from a static wormhole filled with a phantom Sine-Gordon scalar field is investigated numerically.
