arXiv.org LaTeX style files

These files provide class and bibtex style files for arXiv.org preprints.

The arxiv class file is based on the amsart AMS class, loaded with the following options: reqno, oneside, a4paper, noamsfonts. It defaults to UTF-8 input encoding and T1 font enconding.

The class produces one-sided A4-sized documents with 2cm horizontal margins and 3cm vertical margins. It uses the lmodern font together with the mathabx symbol font. It also replaces the standard AMS fonts by boondoxup for calligraphic, boondox for script, euler for fraktur, and fourier for blackboard.

The following theorem-like environments are defined:

• prp: Proposition
• dfn: Definition
• thm: Theorem
• lmm: Lemma
• crl: Corollary
• rmk: Remark
• exm: Example Numbering is by section.

The class also defines two pairs of delimiters: \dlb [[ and \drb ]], and \dlp (( and \drp )). Both are extensible. The commands \dbrace#1 and \dparen#1 provide automatically stretching double braces and double parenthesis, respectively. For example: \dbrace{s,t} produces [[s,t]]. In both cases some kerning is inserted between each single delimiter for aesthetic purposes.

The BibTeX style file is based on the UT Physics biblographic style v2.8 by Jacques Distler. It recognizes the custom fields eprint, archiveprefix and primaryclass for producing hyperlinked arXiv references. Example:

@article{mwe2020,
  author = {Max Mustermann and Pedro Rojas and John Smith},
  title = {Example bibliographic reference},
  year = {2020},
  eprint = {2001.0001},
  primaryclass = {math.PR},
  arxiveprefix = {arXiv}
}

produces

[1] M. Mustermann, P. Rojas and J. Smith, "Example bibliographic reference," arXiv: 2001.0001 [math.PR]

The style also produces hyperlinked references when the doi field is present. The actual position of the link depends on the type of entry. For article entries, the journal references is the hyperlink, for book entries the title of the book is the hyperlink, etc.

Requirements

This class file loads the amsart class. Therefore, it depends on the amsmath The following packages are required:

• mathtools
• inputenc
• fontenc
• lmodern
• mathabx
• microtype
• mleftright
• bookmark
• cleveref
• geometry
• mathalfa

Installation

Copy arxiv.cls into texmf/tex/latex/arxiv/ and arxiv.bst into texmf/bibtex/bst/arxiv/

Usage

For the class file, write \documentclass{arxiv} in your preamble. For the bibliography style write \bibliographystyle{arxiv} in before the \bibliography command.
