Manifold Atlas: Uploading PDF files
1 When to upload PDF files
You should upload PDF files when:
- you wish to give a calculation or an argument for a statement not already in the literature,
- you wish to give a new calculation or a new argument for a statement already in the literature,
- you need a more sophisticated layout than the Atlas supports.
Uploading PDF files allows users to contribute authored, original content to open-editing pages.
Users are encouraged, e. g. to provide new computations of invariants, new proofs of existing results and even new results.
Please provide your name and institutional address (if applicable) in the PDF file in order to be cited properly.
