Editorial Correspondence
Papers submitted for publication and editorial correspondence should be addressed to Maureen Schupsky, Annals of Mathematics, Fine Hall, Washington Road, Princeton University, Princeton, NJ 08544. Authors are encouraged to initially submit their papers electronically and in PDF format, although we will accept other formats such as TeX, .dvi, and postscript. Please send the appropriate files to annals@math.princeton.edu or to the Mathematics e-print arXiv. Instructions for submissions to the arXiv can be found at the at http://front.math.ucdavis.edu/submissions. Please contact us through our e-mail address with either the title or the arXiv number of a paper if it is submitted to the Annals through the arXiv.
Required items
A brief abstract of about 150 words or less must be included. It should be self-contained and not make any reference to the bibliography. If the article is not in English, two versions of the abstract must be included, one in the language of the article and one in English. Also required are keywords and subject classifications for the article, and, for each author, postal address, affiliation (if appropriate), and email address if available. A home-page URL is optional.
Format
Authors are encouraged to use LaTeX and the standard article class, but submissions in other varieties of TeX, and exceptionally in other formats, are acceptable. Initial uploads should normally be in PDF format; after the refereeing process we will ask you to submit all source material.
References
Bibliographical references should be complete, including article titles and page ranges. All references in the bibliography should be cited in the text. The use of BibTeX is preferred but not required. Tags will be converted to the house format, however, for submission you may use the format of your choice. Links will be provided to all literature with known web locations and authors are encouraged to provide their own links in addition to those supplied in the editorial process.
Figures
Figures must be of publication quality. After acceptance, you will need to submit the original source files in vector graphics format for all diagrams in your manuscript: vector EPS or vector PDF files are the most useful.

Most drawing and graphing packages — Mathematica, Adobe Illustrator, Corel Draw, MATLAB, etc. — allow the user to save files in one of these formats. Make sure that what you are saving is vector graphics and not a bitmap. If you need help, please write to graphics@mathscipub.org with as many details as you can about how your graphics were generated.

Bundle your figure files into a single archive (using zip, tar, rar or other format of your choice) and upload on the link you been provided at acceptance time.

Each figure should be captioned and numbered so that it can float. Small figures occupying no more than three lines of vertical space can be kept in the text (“the curve looks like this:”). It is acceptable to submit a manuscript with all figures at the end, if their placement is specified in the text by means of comments such as “Place Figure 1 here”. The same considerations apply to tables.

White Space
Forced line breaks or page breaks should not be inserted in the document. There is no point in your trying to optimize line and page breaks in the original manuscript. The manuscript will be reformatted to use the journal's preferred fonts and layout.
Copyright agreement
Authors of papers which have been accepted for publication will be asked to sign a copyright agreement.
Proofs
Page proofs will be made available to authors (or to the designated corresponding author) at a Web site in PDF format. If requested by the author, we will also send her/him a paper copy of the proof. Failure to acknowledge the receipt of proofs or to return corrections within the requested deadline may cause publication to be postponed.
Offprints
Authors of single-authored papers will receive 30 offprints. (Authors of papers with one co-author will receive 15 offprints, and authors of papers with two or more co-authors will receive 10 offprints.) Extra offprints may be purchased through the editorial office.
