Instructions

How to complete the LaTeX submission template.

These instructions also appear in the LaTeX template.   Please fill out the template by writing in the space provided, do not uncomment any instructional text, and do not introduce any additional macros.

1. Title. Provide the title of your talk.

2. Speakers.  Provide the name(s) of the speaker(s) in the order you would like them to appear on our webpage. (Note that by submitting this talk to Mathematical Discourse, you are attesting that all cospeakers have given their consent for submission.)

3. Affiliation. Provide affiliations of speakers, in the same order as above

4. Contact information. Provide email addresses of speakers, in same order as above

5. Video link. Provide a link to the recording of your talk. If your talk is not already publicly hosted on the internet, please upload it to youtube either as a public (visible to all) or unlisted (visible only to those with the link) video and share the link with us. Note that if your talk is accepted, we will request that the person holding the copyright allow us to upload the talk to our YouTube channel and Internet Archive account, or upload the talk to these platforms themselves. An accepted talk will be published even without compliance with these requests.

6. Primary Subject Area. Choose a primary subject area from the following list. This subject area will be used to assign the talk to an editor. Algebra, Algebraic Geometry, Analysis, Combinatorics, Dynamics, Geometry, Lie Theory, Logic, Number Theory, Partial Differential Equations, Probability, Topology.

7. (Optional) Secondary subject area. Choose from the same list as above. The primary and secondary subject areas will be used to sort accepted talks on our website.

8. MSC codes. Please provide 1-5 MSC codes that best describe the subject of your talk.

9. Keywords. List several keywords that describe the content of your talk at a finer level than the MSC codes. These will be used to enhance the performance of the search feature on our website.

10. Audience. Indicate if this is being submitted as a colloquium talk (accessible to an audience including mathematics graduate students and mathematicians outside your field), or as a seminar talk (accessible to a broad mathematical audience within the specific Subject Area(s) specified above). The audience you select will be carefully considered by the referees as they watch your talk.

11. MathDisc Abstract. Submit an abstract of 200-300 words and written in LaTeX. The abstract should be written for the intended audience of the talk (either a colloquium or a subject-specific seminar, as you selected earlier). It should summarize talk content in a way that is accessible and interesting to your selected audience. In addition, it could give conceptual and/or historical context for the talk, further clarify the intended audience, or give other essential information. This is probably not the abstract you sent the organizers before you gave your talk.

12. Table of contents. Provide 3-10 captions and time stamps for sections of your talk. These will appear next to accepted talks on our website as a way for viewers to jump to a specific segment of the presentation.

13. Clarifications and corrections. Give the following information:

  • Timestamps and transcriptions of all audience questions that are not comprehensible in the recording.
  • Timestamps and corrections to any “typos’’ or other superficial errors in the talk that you are aware of, including omitted citations.

14. Format. Indicate if your talk is best described as a board talk, or a slide talk. Note that live-writing on a tablet might best be considered “board” rather than slides. (You can select both options if this seems appropriate.)

15. Publication link. Provide a stable link (e.g. arxiv, journal) to the primary preprint(s) or publication(s) on which this talk is based.

16. Date of talk. Provide the date of the recording of this talk.

17. Host institution. Provide the name of the organization that hosted the talk. If you edited the live recording, please ensure that any edits have been disclosed (see Disclosures below). If you recorded the talk without a live audience, please write “None”.

18. Copyright holder link. Either state here that you hold the copyright to the video, or provide a link to the main webpage of the person or organization that holds the copyright to the recording of your talk. The person who filmed the talk automatically holds the copyright, unless they have formally transferred it to someone else. For example, if the Host Institution listed above created this talk recording, you should provide a link to their webpage here.

19. Host series. If this talk was given as part of a workshop, seminar, or conference, provide the name of that conference/series of talks here. Otherwise write “None.”

20. Disclosures. If you are submitting a recording of a live talk, please list the ways you have edited the recording. Verify that these edits are in line with the talk venue’s policies.

21. Overlap. Are you aware of a talk with significant overlap in content having already been submitted to or published by Mathematical Discourse? If so, list these here. We encourage you to consult with coauthors before submitting a talk primarily about joint work.

22. Funding information. Provide information about grants that supported this talk as you would like it to appear on our webpage if the talk is accepted.
