Publications

I always recommend to read the arXiv version. I put a lot of work into formatting and, not rarely, am rather unhappy with the LaTeX templates enforced by the journals. It also happened that they mess up typesetting in mathematically relevant ways.

Be assures that I keep the arXiv uploads up to date even after a after the journal publication.
