Editorial Information

To be published in the Proceedings, a paper must be correct, new, nontrivial, andsignificant. Further, it must be well written and of interest to a substantial number ofmathematicians. Piecemeal results, such as an inconclusive step toward an unprovedmajor theorem or a minor variation on a known result, are in general not acceptablefor publication. Proceedings Editors solicit and encourage publication of worthy papersof length not exceeding 10 published pages. Published pages are the same size as thosegenerated in the style files provided for AMS-LATEX or AMS-TEX.

Information on the backlog for this journal can be found on the AMS website startingfrom http://www.ams.org/proc.

In an effort to make articles available as quickly as possible, articles are posted to theAMS website individually after proof is returned from authors and before appearing in anissue.

A Consent to Publish and Copyright Agreement is required before a paper will bepublished in this journal. After a paper is accepted for publication, the Providence officewill send out a Consent to Publish and Copyright Agreement to all authors of the paper.By submitting a paper to this journal, authors certify that the results have not been sub-mitted to nor are they under consideration for publication by another journal, conferenceproceedings, or similar publication.

Information for Authors

Initial submission. Two copies of the paper should be sent directly to the appropriateEditor and the author should keep a copy.

IF an editor is agreeable, an electronic manuscript prepared in TEX or LATEX maybe submitted by pointing to an appropriate URL on a preprint or e-print server.

The first page of an article must consist of a descriptive title, followed by an abstract

that summarizes the article in language suitable for workers in the general field (algebra,analysis, etc.). The descriptive title should be short, but informative; useless or vaguephrases such as “some remarks about” or “concerning” should be avoided. The abstract

should be at least one complete sentence, and at most 150 words. Included with thefootnotes to the paper should be the 2000 Mathematics Subject Classification representingthe primary and secondary subjects of the article. The classifications are accessible fromwww.ams.org/msc/. The list of classifications is also available in print starting with the1999 annual index of Mathematical Reviews. The Mathematics Subject Classificationfootnote may be followed by a list of key words and phrases describing the subject matterof the article and taken from it. Journal abbreviations used in bibliographies are listed inthe latest Mathematical Reviews annual index. The series abbreviations are also accessiblefrom www.ams.org/publications/. To help in preparing and verifying references, theAMS offers MR Lookup, a Reference Tool for Linking, at www.ams.org/mrlookup/. Whenthe manuscript is submitted, authors should supply the editor with electronic addressesif available. These will be printed after the postal address at the end of each article.

Electronically prepared manuscripts. The AMS encourages electronically pre-pared manuscripts, with a strong preference for AMS-LATEX. To this end, the Societyhas prepared AMS-LATEX author packages for each AMS publication. Author packagesinclude instructions for preparing electronic manuscripts, the AMS Author Handbook, sam-ples, and a style file that generates the particular design specifications of that publicationseries. Articles properly prepared using the AMS-LATEX style file and the \label and \refcommands automatically enable extensive intra-document linking to the bibliography andother elements of the article for searching electronically on the Web. Because linkingmust often be added manually to electronically prepared manuscripts in other forms ofTEX, using AMS-LATEX also reduces the amount of technical intervention once the filesare received by the AMS. This results in fewer errors in processing and saves the authorproofreading time. AMS-LATEX papers also move more efficiently through the productionstream, helping to minimize publishing costs.

AMS-LATEX is the highly preferred format of TEX, but author packages are also availablein AMS-TEX. Those authors who make use of these style files from the beginning of thewriting process will further reduce their own efforts. Manuscripts prepared electronicallyin LATEX or plain TEX are normally not acceptable due to the high amount of technical timerequired to insure that the file will run properly through the AMS in-house productionsystem. LATEX users will find that AMS-LATEX is the same as LATEX with additionalcommands to simplify the typesetting of mathematics, and users of plain TEX should havethe foundation for learning AMS-LATEX.

Authors may retrieve an author package from the AMS website starting from www.ams.

org/tex/ or via FTP to ftp.ams.org (login as anonymous, enter username as password,and type cd pub/author-info). The AMS Author Handbook and the Instruction Manual

are available in PDF format following the author packages link from www.ams.org/tex/.The author package can also be obtained free of charge by sending email to [email protected]

(Internet) or from the Publication Division, American Mathematical Society, 201 CharlesStreet, Providence, RI 02904-2294 USA. When requesting an author package, please spec-ify AMS-LATEX or AMS-TEX, Macintosh or IBM (3.5) format, and the publication inwhich your paper will appear. Please be sure to include your complete mailing address.

At the time of submission, authors should indicate if the paper has been prepared usingAMS-LATEX or AMS-TEX and provide the Editor with a paper manuscript that matchesthe electronic manuscript. The final version of the electronic manuscript should be sent tothe Providence office immediately after the paper has been accepted for publication. Theauthor should also send the final version of the paper manuscript to the Editor, who willforward a copy to the Providence office. Editors will require authors to send their electron-ically prepared manuscripts to the Providence office in a timely fashion. Electronically pre-pared manuscripts can be submitted via the web at www.ams.org/submit-book-journal/,sent via email to [email protected] (Internet), or sent on diskette to the Electronic Pre-press Department, American Mathematical Society, 201 Charles Street, Providence, RI02904-2294 USA. When sending a manuscript electronically via e-mail or diskette, pleasebe sure to include a message indicating in which publication the paper has been accepted.No corrections will be accepted electronically. Authors must mark their changes on theirproof copies and return them to the Providence office. Complete instructions on how tosend files are included in the author package.

Electronic graphics. Comprehensive instructions on preparing graphics are availablestarting from www.ams.org/jourhtml/authors.html. A few of the major requirementsare given here.

Submit files for graphics as EPS (Encapsulated PostScript) files. This includes graphicsoriginated via a graphics application as well as scanned photographs or other computer-generated images. If this is not possible, TIFF files are acceptable as long as they can beopened in Adobe Photoshop or Illustrator. No matter what method was used to producethe graphic, it is necessary to provide a paper copy to the AMS.

Authors using graphics packages for the creation of electronic art should also avoid theuse of any lines thinner than 0.5 points in width. Many graphics packages allow the userto specify a “hairline” for a very thin line. Hairlines often look acceptable when proofedon a typical laser printer. However, when produced on a high-resolution laser imagesetter,hairlines become nearly invisible and will be lost entirely in the final printing process.

Screens should be set to values between 15% and 85%. Screens which fall outside of thisrange are too light or too dark to print correctly. Variations of screens within a graphicshould be no less than 10%.

AMS policy on making changes to articles after posting. Articles are posted tothe AMS website individually after proof is returned from authors and before appearingin an issue. To preserve the integrity of electronically published articles, once an article isindividually posted to the AMS website but not yet in an issue, changes cannot be madein place in the paper. However, an “Added after posting” section may be added to thepaper right before the References when there is a critical error in the content of the paper.

The “Added after posting” section gives the author an opportunity to correct this typeof critical error before the article is put into an issue for printing and before it is thenreposted with the issue. The “Added after posting” section remains a permanent part ofthe paper. The AMS does not keep author-related information, such as affiliation, currentaddress, and email address, up to date after a paper is initially posted.

Once the article is assigned to an issue, even if the issue has not yet been posted to theAMS website, corrections may be made to the paper by submitting a traditional errataarticle to the Editor. The errata article will appear in a future print issue and will linkback and forth on the web to the original article online.

Secure manuscript tracking on the Web and via email. Authors can track theirmanuscripts through the AMS journal production process using the personal AMS ID andArticle ID printed in the upper right-hand corner of the Consent to Publish form sent toeach author who publishes in AMS journals. Access to the tracking system is availablefrom www.ams.org/mstrack/ or via email sent to [email protected]. To access byemail, on the subject line of the message simply enter the AMS ID and Article ID. Totrack more than one manuscript by email, choose one of the Article IDs and enter theAMS ID and the Article ID followed by the word all on the subject line. An explanationof each production step is provided on the web through links from the manuscript trackingscreen. Questions can be sent to [email protected].

TEX files available. Beginning with the January 1992 issue of the Bulletin and theJanuary 1996 issues of Transactions, Proceedings, Mathematics of Computation, and theJournal of the AMS, TEX files can be downloaded from the AMS website, starting fromwww.ams.org/journals/. Authors without Web access may request their files at theaddress given below after the article has been published. For Bulletin papers published in1987 through 1991 and for Transactions, Proceedings, Mathematics of Computation, andthe Journal of the AMS papers published in 1987 through 1995, TEX files are availableupon request for authors without Web access by sending email to [email protected]

or by contacting the Electronic Prepress Department, American Mathematical Society,201 Charles Street, Providence, RI 02904-2294 USA. The request should include the titleof the paper, the name(s) of the author(s), the name of the publication in which the paperhas or will appear, and the volume and issue numbers if known. The TEX file will be sentto the author making the request after the article goes to the printer. If the requestor canreceive Internet email, please include the email address to which the file should be sent.Otherwise please indicate a diskette format and postal address to which a disk shouldbe mailed. Note: Because TEX production at the AMS sometimes requires extra fontsand macros that are not yet publicly available, TEX files cannot be guaranteed to runthrough the author’s version of TEX without errors. The AMS regrets that it cannotprovide support to eliminate such errors in the author’s TEX environment.

Inquiries. Any inquiries concerning a paper that has been accepted for publicationthat cannot be answered via the manuscript tracking system mentioned above should besent to [email protected] or directly to the Electronic Prepress Department, AmericanMathematical Society, 201 Charles Street, Providence, RI 02904-2294 USA.
