Requests for letters of recommendation : I am generally willing to write these (assuming of course that I am already sufficiently familiar with the applicant's work), but typically require at least a month's notice, and very specific information as to where the letters should be sent, in which format, and by what deadline.However, several of my web pages, such as my conference list and the local/global well posedness page are obsolete (being replaced by this wiki page and this wiki respectively) and will no longer be updated on this site. Updates to one of my web pages : I am happy to accept corrections on these.For advice on writing papers, please see this page.

For advice as to what journal to send one's paper to, please see this page. If your manuscript is already publication-quality, I suggest uploading it to the arXiv instead. Such manuscripts will be discarded without acknowledgment. Unsolicited manuscripts (other than for submission to a journal) : Due to lack of time and many requests, I cannot read or comment on any unsolicited self-authored manuscripts of any sort (such as those relating to prime numbers).Submissions to a journal that I am editor of ( AJM, Dynamics of PDE, Analysis & PDE, Forum of Mathematics ) : Please see this page.Invitations to collaborate : Unfortunately due to many existing projects I am not able to consider any further collaborations at this time.Also, any article that I have uploaded to the arXiv recently will usually be already submitted to an existing journal, and I will not be able to respond to solicitations of that article for any other journal. For similar reasons, I will also be almost certainly unable to contribute to any project involving montages of contributions by N famous people, for some large integer N. In particular, I will not be able to write a preface, introduction, or endorsement for any journal, book, or article, unless there is a direct personal connection between this publication and myself. I will be however be unable to donate any significant amount of time to help with migrating data, creating totally new content, or taking on any sort of organisational role for such a project. Source files for these works are usually available on request. short stories, lecture notes, computer code, or slides) on my web page or blog published material, of course, is subject to copyright. Invitations to contribute data to a project : You are welcome to freely utilise any unpublished material (e.g.Invitations to publish a monograph, book, lecture notes, etc : I do not have any uncommitted book plans at present.Invitations to join an editorial board, advisory board, organizational, or scientific committee : Due to heavy workload, existing commitments, and high demand, I am currently declining all invitations of this nature (including any 'honourary' or 'zero-work' positions of this type).I am currently declining essentially all further invitations to discretionary travel or speaking engagements, especially with regards to international travel, and particularly with regard to events in which substitute speakers for myself are available. Invitations to give seminars, colloquia, lecture series, or attend conferences or programs : It is difficult for me to travel these days for work and family reasons, and due to high demand and the number of existing commitments.

(If you are a representative of the media, please visit this page instead.) However, due to time limitations I will have to decline or severely restrict many email requests, including many of the following : The best way to contact me is via e-mail, though if I am traveling it may take up to a week for me to respond.

Important note: Unsolicited surprise requests from strangers entering my office are essentially guaranteed to be met with a negative response. For submissions to journals for which I am an editor, see this page. (For referee requests from journals, see below. Please do not mail or email me any unsolicited self-authored manuscripts (such as those relating to prime numbers, or to famous unsolved problems, such as the Clay Millennium Prize problems) due to lack of time and high volume of requests, I will not read or comment on any of them, and the manuscripts will be discarded without acknowledgment.
