About the journal
|
The aim of Letters in Mathematical Physics is to present to the specialised reader (from the level of graduate student upwards) important new developments in the area of mathematical physics. The journal is a vehicle for the rapid communication of short contributions and contains letters and, occasionally, short review articles and research projects in the fields of: modern group theory and applications to physics; quantum-field theory; mathematical models for physical systems; classical, quantum and statistical mechanics; relativity and gravitation, etc. It contains, in addition, important contributions to modern mathematics in such fields as functional analysis, differential geometry, algebra, topology, etc., which have a potential physical application, and important developments in theoretical physics which have potential mathematical impact. |

Instructions to Authors
General Instructions
Letters in Mathematical Physics strongly encourages the electronic submission of papers by e-mailing a LaTeX file, attached whenever possible, or as text, to the Dijon office: lmathphy@u-bourgogne.fr (A copy may be sent simultaneously to an Editor or to a member of the Editorial Board). Plain TeX, AMSTeX and papers for conventional typesetting may also be accepted (the latter take longer to process at every stage). The file should be compatible with a standard setup of LaTeX2e or accompanied by the needed stylefiles, eps files and a ps file. The authors should try and use original filenames, especially for figures (e.g. avoid names such as lmp.tex of fig1.eps). When available, reference to an electronic archive is very helpful. Airmailing a paper copy and a letter of submission, and the use of the Kluwer Stylefile for LaTeX2e, downloadable from http://www.lwwonline.com/common/stylefiles/stylefiles.htm is suggested but not essential; the length of the paper should normally not exceed 14 pages in this style (roughly, 500 lines of 12pt type of length 16.5 cm). The Dijon office will acknowledge promptly, by personalized e-mail, receipt of any submitted paper sent to the office, and when applicable of any revised version. All papers receive peer review. A log number is assigned in Dijon to every paper and should appear in the "Subject" field of any message concerning the paper.
Presentation of the paper
Opening and text. The paper must have an abstract, the relevant Mathematics Subject Classifications (2000), and a list of key words. Statements should preferably be set out as Theorems, Propositions, Lemmas, Definitions, etc. An introduction, where the subject treated is (briefly) placed in a broader context, is recommended.
Figures, etc. Tables and graphs and graphs are preferred in LaTeX. Figures should be referred to as `Figure' (not abbreviated) in the text and, if relevant, a detailed caption should be provided for each figure. The eps (encapusled postscript) format, sent as a separately attached file, is strongly recommended. The approximate required location of figures and tables is indicated at the appropriate place in the LaTeX file.
References. References will appear numbered within square brackets in the text, and listed at the end of the article without square brackets. Authors are encouraged to prepare their papers in this form. The references should be arranged preferably in alphabetical and chronological order or else in order of citation.
A journal reference should comprise of author name(s), initials, full title of paper, AMS abbreviated name of journal, volume number, year of publication, and first and last pages, e.g.,
Schwartz, J. H.: Evidence for nonperturbative string symmetries, Lett. Math. Phys. 34 (1995), 309-317
A book reference should comprise of author name(s), initials, full title of book, publisher, place of publication, year of publication, e.g.:
Popov, V. N.: Functional Integrals in Quantum Field Theory and Statistical Physics, D. Reidel, Dordrecht, 1983.
An edited volume reference should comprise of name(s) and initial(s) of author(s), title of paper, name(s) of editor(s), full title of book, publisher, place of publication, year of publication, inclusive page numbers, e.g.
Kontsevich, M. and Soibelman, Y.: Deformations of algebras over operads and the Deligne conjecture, In: G. Dito and D. Sternheimer (eds), Conf閞ence Mosh?Flato 1999, Quantization, Deformations and Symmetries vol. I, Kluwer Acad. Publ., Dordrecht, 2000, pp. 255-307.
General
Proofs. Whenever possible and in order to expedite production, proofs will be e-mailed to the authors as an attached file in pdf (portable document file) format, together with the Consent to Publish form, at the address they have communicated (by default, to the e-mail address from which the file was e-mailed); after a paper is accepted, the author(s) should indicate any address change for proofs to the copy editor at the Editorial Department, Richard.Freeman@wkap.nl. Though as a rule the original LaTeX file is used as a basis for production, the paper undergoes copy editing at Kluwer and the setters have their own format (with postscript fonts and special page width), so that a careful proofreading is highly recommended. Corrections should be sent to the same person, preferably by fax (+31 78 657 6555) or fast mail (Kluwer Academic Publishers, Editorial Department, Van Godewijckstraat 30, NL-3311 GX Dordrecht, The Netherlands). If the author(s) request that, the corresponding author may receive two sets of page proofs along with an annotated copy of the MS; he/she is then requested to return one, corrected proof with the edited MS to the publisher without delay. In those cases where proofs are not returned within a reasonable period of time (more than two months), the publisher will read them and publish without the author's comments. Second proofs are, as a rule, sent to the Editorial Department, not to the author(s). A signed paper copy of the Consent to Publish form is in any case required.
Offprints. 50 offprints of each article will be provided free of charge. Additional offprints can be ordered.
Charges. No page charges are levied on authors or their institutions.
