Primes¶

Dragon King Theory
- City-size and wealth distributions — the very largest cities or fortunes can exceed even the Zipf prediction, dragon-king positions generated by special advantages not part of the body's mechanism.
  This sourceStatistical tests separating dragon-king outliers (including very large cities and fortunes) from heavy-tail draws.
  
  Supported in partVerified against the publisher's abstract
  
  The abstract supports dragon-king outliers in city-size distributions (London, Moscow, St-Petersburg, Paris) but is silent on fortunes/wealth and on a special-advantages mechanism.
  
  “We find the following evidence for Dragon-Kings: London in the distribution of city sizes of Great Britain; Moscow and St-Petersburg in the distribution of city sizes in the Russian Federation; and Paris in the distribution of agglomeration sizes in France.”
  From the publisher's abstract.

Verification¶

Does it exist? Confirmed. This work's DOI resolves to a registered record, which fixes its identity. That is all it fixes.

Does it back the claim? Read against the text for 1 of 1 citation: 1 supported in part. Each verdict is shown under its citation below, with what in the work backs the sentence.

Support is checked per citation rather than per work — the same source can be cited soundly in one article and wrongly in another. Per-citation recording began recently, so a citation with no recorded check is a gap in the record rather than evidence it went unchecked.
