Can you commit fraud in a mathematics publication? Or is this a privilege of empirical sciences?
If a mathematician jumps from one bit of information to another that does not follow logically, from more basic principles, then, that's not fraud, but a logical fallacy, akin to saying 1+1=3.
If an empirical scientist gets a results of 3.3341, but claims it was 3.7341 that's fraud.
