I've seen MANY papers created with LaTeX that have the following format:

In particular, I like the font sizes and the way that section titles are centered and in all caps. Does anyone know if there is a document class for this look? I'm sure there is something for it since I've seen so many papers that look exactly like this... Thanks!

    Looks like amsart.

    You can download the paper source from the arXiv. In this case they use \documentclass[12pt, a4paper]{amsart}

  • What are the margins typically used on papers created using this class? Just the default ones or something special? I particularly like them on the second paper I posted.

    the first example is almost certainly amsart, but the second one, if based on amsart, doesn't have the default dimensions or the default type style for the authors. amsart has a default 30pc width; the second example appears wider. (changing the width on amsart is not completely trivial.)

It's amsart, a standard document class from the American Mathematical Society used in its journals and widely elsewhere, e.g., in arXiv. It's part of AMS-LaTeX.

    AMS-LaTeX has been split in two on ctan and in tex live; the two parts are amscls (the classes and amsthm) and `amsmath'.
