David Gross and his student had completed the same calculation, and they found it was plus.
A week after Politzer shared his calculation:
the Princeton team had found a mistake, corrected it, and already submitted a paper to Physical Review Letters.
Why would they decide to redo the calculation (not a very hard one, but rather laborious back then, though it’s a standard one in any grad QFT course now) at exactly the same time?
Anyway, no point in further speculations without new data.
