About the journal
Journal overview: This journal is devoted to research articles in all areas of pure and applied mathematics. To be published in the Transactions, a paper must be correct, new, and significant. Further, it must be well written and of interest to a substantial number of mathematicians. Piecemeal results, such as an inconclusive step toward an unproved major theorem or a minor variation on a known result, are in general not acceptable for publication. Papers of less than 10 printed pages that meet the above criteria should be submitted to the Proceedings of the American Mathematical Society. Published pages are the same size as those generated in the style files provided for AMS-LaTeX or AMS-TeX.
Submission information: Information can be found on the journal's Initial Submission page.
Copying and reprinting: Material in this journal may be reproduced by any means for educational and scientific purposes without fee or permission with the exception of reproduction by services that collect fees for delivery of documents and provided that the customary acknowledgment of the source is given. This consent does not extend to other kinds of copying for general distribution, for advertising or promotional purposes, or for resale. Requests for permission for commercial use of material should be addressed to the Acquisitions Department, American Mathematical Society, 201 Charles Street, Providence, RI 02904-2294 USA. Requests can also be made by email to reprint-permission@ams.org.
Excluded from these provisions is material in articles for which the author holds copyright. In such cases, requests for permission to use or reprint should be addressed directly to the author(s). Copyright ownership is indicated in the notice in the lower right-hand corner of the first page of each article.
Publishing cycle and indexing notes: Transactions of the American Mathematical Society is published monthly with articles posted individually to the AMS website before appearing in an issue. Beginning in January 1996, Transactions is accessible from http://www.ams.org/tran/. This journal is indexed in Mathematical Reviews, Zentralblatt MATH, Science Citation Index®, Science Citation Index--Expanded, ISI Alerting Services, CompuMath Citation Index®, and Current Contents®, Physical, Chemical & Earth Sciences.
Subscriptions: Subscriptions to this journal can be obtained through the AMS Bookstore. Subscriptions and orders can also be addressed to the American Mathematical Society, P.O. Box 845904, Boston, MA 02284-5904 USA. All orders must be accompanied by payment. Other correspondence should be addressed to American Mathematical Society, 201 Charles Street, Providence, RI 02904-2294 USA.
Backlog information: As of June 30, 2003, the backlog for this journal was approximately 5 issues. This estimate is the result of dividing the number of manuscripts for this journal in the Providence office that have not yet gone to the printer on the above date by the average number of articles per issue over the previous twelve months, reduced by the number of issues published in four months (the time necessary for editing and composing a typical issue). In an effort to make articles available as quickly as possible, articles are posted to the AMS website individually after proof is returned from authors and before appearing in an issue.

Initial Submission
The traditional method of submitting a paper is to send two hard copies to the appropriate Editor, and the author should keep one copy.
In principle the Transactions welcomes electronic submissions, and some of the editors, those whose names appear with an asterisk (*), have indicated that they prefer them. However, editors reserve the right to request hard copies after papers have been submitted electronically. Authors are advised to make preliminary email inquiries to editors about whether they are likely to be able to handle submissions in a particular electronic form. Authors should indicate if the paper has been prepared using AMS-LaTeX or AMS-TeX, though AMS-LaTeX is strongly preferred. IF an editor is agreeable, electronically prepared TeX manuscripts may be submitted by pointing to an appropriate URL on a preprint or e-print server.
Authors should also supply the Editor with email addresses if available. These will be printed after the postal address at the end of each article.
The abstract should be at least one complete sentence and at most 300 words. The AMS offers free worldwide access to the electronic abstracts.
The first page must contain a descriptive title that is short, but informative; useless or vague phrases such as "some remarks about" or "concerning" should be avoided.
Included with the footnotes to the paper should be the 2000 Mathematics Subject Classification representing the primary and secondary subjects of the article. The classifications are accessible from
http://www.ams.org/msc
The Mathematics Subject Classification footnote may be followed by a list of key words and phrases describing the subject matter of the article and taken from it.
Journal abbreviations used in bibliographies are accessible from
http://www.ams.org/publications
Where to Send Files for Papers Accepted for AMS Publication
For the following journals:
Bulletin of the American Mathematical Society
Journal of the American Mathematical Society
Mathematics of Computation
Proceedings of the American Mathematical Society
Transactions of the American Mathematical Society
the final version of the electronic manuscript should be sent to the Providence office immediately after the paper has been accepted for publication. The author should also send the final version of the paper manuscript to the Editor, who will forward a copy to the Providence office. No corrections will be accepted electronically. Authors must mark their changes on author proofs when received and return them to the Providence office.
Electronically prepared manuscripts
Web
ACCEPTED papers can be submitted via the web
For security and confidentiality reasons, this system requires that you have an AMS Web Account. You will be given an opportunity to create an account as you go through the submission process.
Email
Can be sent via email to pub-submit@ams.org
Include a message indicating the name of the publication in which the paper is to appear
FTP
Files for journal articles and graphics can also be transferred via FTP to ftp.ams.org
Login as anonymous and enter your email address as the password. Once logged in, connect to the incoming directory and transfer the files. This is the only directory in the FTP area which is open to write access.
After the transfer is complete, mail must be sent to pub-submit@ams.org informing the AMS staff of the transfer. The message should include the name of the file(s) transferred and the name of the publication in which the paper is to appear.
If you have difficulty in transferring files to the AMS website through FTP, send mail to webmaster@ams.org
Diskette
Electronically prepared manuscripts may also be sent to:
Electronic Prepress Department
American Mathematical Society
201 Charles Street
Providence, RI 02904-2294 USA
When sending a manuscript on PC or Mac diskette, write on the label of the diskette the author name(s), title, and the name of the publication in which the paper will appear.
Complete instructions on how to send files are included in the author packages.
