\section{Introduction}
The Fields Institute has reached an agreement under which the American Mathematical Society will act as the Institute publisher.  The Scientific Advisory Panel has agreed to serve as an interim editorial board for Institute publications.  The Institute's publishing program includes lecture notes of graduate courses and research monographs with the series title {\em Fields Institute Monographs}, and a collection of refereed papers presented by visiting members of the Institute, with the series title {\em Fields Institute Communications}.

The information in this manual should enable authors to easily make use of the Fields Style files to format their work, and help maintain our standard of high quality.

\section{Format}
We will provide you with information on obtaining Fields Institute style files to include in your, AMS \LaTeX\@ or AMS \TeX \@ files.  Do NOT use Plain \TeX.  If you do not have the updated versions of AMS \TeX\@ or \LaTeX, you can FTP these files from the AMS. (See section 3.)  You may also order the disks from AMS Customer Services for a minimal shipping fee by calling 1-800-321-4267.
\subsection{General Guidelines}
Some basic principles are important for effective handling of electronic submissions in production.  Authors should keep these in mind when preparing their files.
\begin{enumerate}
\item AMS\@ \TeX\@  and AMS\@ \LaTeX\@ contain tags to identify most of the important features of mathematical papers and monographs; use them, not tags you define yourself.
\item Do {\bf not} redefine any plain \TeX,\@ AMS\@ \LaTeX\@ or AMS\@ \TeX
\@ control sequences.
\item Ensure that any figure, equation etc. you reference within the text is labelled appropriately to ensure cross-referencing accuracy.
\item Every file should be able to be processed independently; do not use `input' files, but instead include the contents of any such files in the main source file.
\item Use coding for special fonts (e.g., boldface or italic) only within the text of the manuscript; do not use such coding for any headings.
       
\end{enumerate}
\subsection{Final Form}
The AMS requires authors to declare if the submitted paper is in final form or not.  Final form means that a longer or substantially similar version will not be published elsewhere.  This is also important for The Fields Institute, since we want papers  in {\em Fields Institute Communications} to be treated as refereed papers in a journal.  Please sign the form contained within the Author's Package, and send it to The Fields Institute with your final hard copy.

\section{Instructions for Obtaining Style Files}
Proper  use of the appropriate style file
to prepare a volume  results  in  a  uniform-looking  book that can be produced
quickly and sold at a  reasonable  price.   Style files, together with detailed
instructions, are provided free of  charge.    For  authors with e-mail and FTP
access, the style  files  can  be  obtained  from  the  Society's public domain
archive on the Internet node e-MATH.ams.org (or 130.44.1.100).  (Code "fic" for the Fields Institute Communications style files and "fim" for the Fields Institute Monghraphs style files.) If you are not able to obtain the style files from the AMS, The Fields Institute will provide them to you by e-mail on request. More detailed information on obtaining and processing Author Packages from e-math can be found in the AMS Author Handbook.

\section{Organizing a Paper}
Choose a title that helps  the  reader  place your paper in the body of
mathematics.  It must clearly identify both  the general field of the paper and
the particular branch of it under consideration.  A good title contains several
well-known key words, eg.,  Algebraic  solutions of linear partial differential
equations.  A title of more than ten or twelve words is likely to be miscopied,
misquoted, or distorted.    Avoid  jargonistic  words  such as `concerning', `a
remark about', `some contributions to the  theory of'.  Also avoid proper names
unless mathematical usage associates them with  the work.  Note that titles may
be used in information retrieval; therefore, every word in them is important.


All  of  the  following  should be unmarked,
unnumbered footnotes on the first page of an article:
\subsection{1991 Mathematics Subject Classification}

  Included as the first footnote on
    the first  page  of  an  article  should  be  the  1991 Mathematics Subject
    Classification numbers representing the  primary  and secondary subjects of
    the paper.  A list of  these  numbers  may  be found in the annual index of
    Mathematical Reviews, published with  the  December issue starting in 1990,
    as well as from  the  electronic  service  e-MATH (telnet e-MATH.ams.org or
    130.44.1.100; login and password are e-MATH).
\subsection{Grants}
    Information  on  grants  or  contracts  under  which research was
    performed, including grant number, should  appear as the second footnote on
    the first page.

\section{Figures/Graphics}
Figures to be incorporated into  the paper can be submitted in one of
two  ways:  electronically as Postscript files, or as  high-quality  art  drawn  on  paper  (camera-ready).
\begin{itemize}
\item  PostScript files containing figures are preferred.  The files should
    be in Encapsulated PostScript (EPS) format and should be transmitted as
    separate files rather than as embedded  PostScript code within the .tex
    (source) file for the paper.  The filenames for the figures should have the
    extension .eps rather than .ps (example: smithfig1.eps  rather  than
    smithfig1.ps).  {\bf It is also important  to leave the correct amount of space
    in the TeX file for the placement of figures}.


    Within the \TeX \@ special command that calls the figure, the reference to the
    external PostScript  graphics  file  must  consist  only  of  the file name
    without explicit paths.  For example,  a file created in a Unix environment
    must not be referred  to as `/usr/joe/book/figures/joefig1.eps'; rather it
    should be simply `joefig1.eps'.  Also, we  recommend the use of one of the
    following public-domain macro  packages  for  including PostScript graphics
    into  your  .tex   file:   epsf.tex,  epsf.sty,  boxedepsf.tex,  psfig.tex,
    psfig.sty.      If   using    boxedepsf.tex,    be    sure   to   use   the
    SetRokickiEPSFSpecial macro when creating the  DVI  file to be sent to the
    AMS.
\item If you must instead use camera-ready figures, they should be  drawn  on  nonabsorbent  paper in black ink
    with clean, unbroken lines.    Do  not  use  lead pencil, ballpoint pen, or
    felt-tip pen.  Labels should match those used in the text.


\end{itemize}
\section{Citations and References}
\subsection{Author-Date Citations}
The system of documentation required is the author-date system.  Therefore, any work
cited within the text of your document must use the author [1990] format; {\bf no numbering please}.  If the work has
less than 3 authors, please include all 3 names in the citation.  However, for works with more than 3 authors please use et al. to reference them.
\subsection{References}
Items in a bibliography are ordered alphabetically by last name 
of author.  The names of journals should be
abbreviated.  A full list of standard  abbreviations can be found in the annual
indexes to Mathematical Reviews.  In  AMS  publications the name of the journal
is followed in order by the  volume and page numbers. 
\vspace{.25in}
\noindent

Doe, J. [1960] {\em Summability of Fourier  Series,} Pacific J. Math, {\bf 12}, 323--257. \\

A reference to a book should  give  author, year, title, edition (if not the first),
name of series and number (if one of a series), volume, editor(s) (if applicable), publisher, city, and pages. 
\vspace{.25in}
\noindent

Smith, F. [1935] {\em Mengenlehre,}  3rd.ed., {\bf 7} (J. Sneddon and R. Hill, eds.),   Publisher, Berlin, 45--80.

\section{Affiliation}
Academic or other affiliation  should  be typed at the end of the
paper, after the bibliography  or  references.    Current address, if different
from the affiliation, should follow the affiliation  on a new line with a blank
line in between.  An electronic mail address should be included if available.

\section{Proofreading}  For author-prepared  volumes  proofreading is the responsibility
of the author, not The Fields Institute.  Manuscripts should  be  proofread by the author before they are
submitted to The Fields Institute.

\section{Permissions}  Authors are responsible  for  obtaining written permission to use
another person's work, including pictures,  figures,  and other art, whether or
not it  has  been  previously  published.    If  the  work  has  been published
previously, the publisher is usually empowered to grant permission, but this is
not always the case;  the  author  or  an  heir  sometimes retains such rights.
Permission is not necessary, of course,  for  use  of work in the public domain
(such as U. S.  government  publications  or  works  on which the copyright has
expired), but credit should be  given,  in  any  case, to the originator of the
work.

Authors are advised to begin  writing  for  permissions as soon as a manuscript
has been submitted for consideration by an editor or editorial committee.

A copy  of  the  letter(s)  granting  permission  must  be  sent  to The Fields
Institute with the original submission.

\section{Copyright Transfer Agreement}  Authors retain  the  right to use all or part of
their own work in future publications  of  their own.  They are, however, asked
to sign other rights over to the AMS.  You will find the Transfer of Copyright Agreement 
form in your author's package.

\section{Submission}   When  the  paper has been accepted by the editors, and any changes suggested by the referees have been made,  send hard copy,
artwork, and {\bf both} the .tex and .log, and any .eps files to The Fields Institute (\email).  Please send a message to this same e-mail address to identify the author, title, editor, intended publication series, and the full names of all submitted files.  Also include the following forms signed and dated:
\begin{itemize}  
\item Checklist for Author-Prepared Books
\item Final Form Agreement
\item Permission Request Form
\item Transfer of Copyright Agreement
\end{itemize}
