\frac{1-z^{n+1}}{1-z} doesn't look very good and how to leave space equal to the size of a given text @Caramir: As I said, typesetting is content dependent. The goal is to convey meaning without distraction. \frac{1}{1-z} is just perfect. But the nature of what we are writing now is different from the formula for the geometric progression. |

\frac{1-z^{n+1}}{1-z} doesn't look very good and how to leave space equal to the size of a given text Oh my! Now I understand. I never put in the question that what I'm writing is many sums of geometric progressions. My bad. |

\frac{1-z^{n+1}}{1-z} doesn't look very good and how to leave space equal to the size of a given text There is still one more reason for wanting that alignment and it is the mnemonic device we use to remember the formula for the sum of a geometric progression. It is easy to remember because we only need to write the same thing 1 minus the ratio and an exponent above that is the number of terms. Visually this picture is broken if the two things are not aligned. The centering doesn't aid the understanding of the formula. Very true that, in general, one would like fractions to be centered but typesetting is content dependent. |

\frac{1-z^{n+1}}{1-z} doesn't look very good and how to leave space equal to the size of a given text I don't think that that is true. It is difficult to parse centering a large expression. Clearly one can write the numerator draw a line below it and center 1-z in the denominator. Think about what would happen if instead of z you had a mammoth expression as the ration of the geometric progression. |

\frac{1-z^{n+1}}{1-z} doesn't look very good and how to leave space equal to the size of a given text It is more general for hiding a text, but my main interest is solving the problem with the fraction. Are there cases in which the \hfill doesn't behave well for. I mean, is there some problem if I change z and n by something else? |

\frac{1-z^{n+1}}{1-z} doesn't look very good and how to leave space equal to the size of a given text No. It is a vestigial error from a previous attempt that I forgot to delete. Anyways, it is not a good solution even without it. See the one by Philipp |

\frac{1-z^{n+1}}{1-z} doesn't look very good and how to leave space equal to the size of a given text I completely doubt it. Do you write from left to right or you implement centering text in your head? It is completely unnatural. Try it. The difference becomes more apparent as the text is larger. Try a bulky exponent and ratio instead of n and z. |

How to cite an article from Arxiv using bibtex Nevermind. Key is a field that is ignored and not printed, so it can not be there. Then I think it should be in NOTE as you said. |

How to cite an article from Arxiv using bibtex Actually there is a bibtex entry that is @unpublished which is the one I am using. I didn't noticed and I put @article in the example above. It has fields: author, title, note, month, year and key. So the question is more about whether to put the arxiv code of the article in note or in key. |

How to cite an article from Arxiv using bibtex This more like what I was asking. Now, it would be good to know if this is standard and even more if AMS has some guideline in this case. |
