AMS journals abstract page

The abstract page provides readers a free overview of the article contents and additional information about the article and its authors. The journals abstract page consists of several components, listed below.

Navigational links
Each abstract page contains two types of navigational links. Those at the top right-hand side of the page allow users to navigate through AMS journals, i.e., Journals Home, Search Journals, etc. Displayed horizontally below these are links that assist users in traversing journal issues, i.e., Most recent issue, Previous issue, etc.

Once an article is published electronically, the published date is included; once an article appears in an issue, the volume, issue, and page span are also included. Users will see either 1991, 2000, or 2010 author-supplied MSCs depending on when the article was written. Additionally, readers will find links to corrigenda, supplements, errata, comments, addenda, and corrections, when available.
