Audit review

Using the paper’s Fourier-transform definition of the fractional Laplacian and the definition of the fractional score, one directly verifies (−Δ)^{α/2}p_t = −∇·(p_t S_t^{(α)}) (Eq. (6)), and substituting this into the FPL equation (Eq. (3)) yields the conservation form with a plus sign in front of the second-order term; this aligns with the LL-PDE (Eq. (8)) and A_α (Eq. (9)) stated in the paper. The candidate solution carries out exactly this computation (same method), notes the sign, and derives the LL-PDE correctly. The paper’s displayed Eq. (7) contains a sign typo on the second-order term and an extraneous α on σ(t), but Eqs. (6), (8), and (9) are correct and mutually consistent with the corrected sign, so the substance matches the candidate’s proof. See Eqs. (3)–(9) in the PDF for the definitions and statements used here .

Referee report (LaTeX)

\textbf{Recommendation:} minor revisions

\textbf{Journal Tier:} specialist/solid

\textbf{Justification:}

The technical core—linking the fractional Laplacian to a divergence via the fractional score, the resulting conservation form, and the LL-PDE—is sound and useful. Minor typographical errors and missing regularity assumptions slightly obscure the exposition but do not affect correctness. Addressing these would improve readability and rigor.
