The compiled record

The paper's own sentences, arranged. Each label is drawn from a closed vocabulary; the number beside it is the probability the classifier gave that label. Numbers in the tables are the authors', checked by code. No sentence in this record was written by a model.

The abstract, sentence by sentence

arXiv listing abstract v1. Results and the main claim are underlined; .

A local property of standard cosmology - growth of primordial perturbations - implies at least six different formation mechanisms of dwarf galaxies. A global property - the topology of the Universe - may enable direct observational study of the aging of individual galaxies. Dwarfs (by mass) can form by star formation in low mass dark matter haloes, which generally collapse early in hierarchical galaxy formation scenarios. However, several other formation paths exist, including that of low redshift, recently collapsed, low mass dark haloes containing low metallicity stellar populations. The latter possibility is purely a property of gravitational collapse --- no special mechanisms to retard star formation are required. Dwarfs by ``nurture'', as opposed to ``nature'', are also possible.

The paper
Original abstract

A local property of standard cosmology - growth of primordial perturbations - implies at least six different formation mechanisms of dwarf galaxies. A global property - the topology of the Universe - may enable direct observational study of the aging of individual galaxies. Dwarfs (by mass) can form by star formation in low mass dark matter haloes, which generally collapse early in hierarchical galaxy formation scenarios. However, several other formation paths exist, including that of low redshift, recently collapsed, low mass dark haloes containing low metallicity stellar populations. The latter possibility is purely a property of gravitational collapse --- no special mechanisms to retard star formation are required. Dwarfs by ``nurture'', as opposed to ``nature'', are also possible.
