Sep 10, 2010 at 15:17 comment added Arend Bayer If you want mathematicians to read your papers, you should bring them in "close to journal quality" anyway. I would suggest to focus on that - once you have achieved that, it shouldn't be too hard to find an endorser. (Note that the endorser isn't vouching for the correctness of the article.)
Aug 28, 2010 at 12:51 comment added Gerald Edgar @Paul: I agree with this criterion: put something on arXiv only if it is close to journal quality!
Aug 27, 2010 at 20:17 comment added Paul Delhanty @Gerald: I concluded that my original result was correct but irrelevant, so I decided not to publish it. There is some other stuff that I am working on, but to start with I decided that I only really needed a blog with authorative time stamps. arXiv appears to suggest to quite a lot of people close to journal quality. I didn't feel confident that I could reach that level working on my own without any peer review. Also, I wanted a lightweight process - the last think I want to be doing is bugging busy maths professors about endorsement.

Apr 13, 2010 at 4:24 comment added Paul Delhanty @Andrew - what is Archive?
Apr 13, 2010 at 4:23 comment added Paul Delhanty @Deanne - that response is kind of off topic - wont't vote it down - but I won't vote it up either. Actually, once I get the time stamp sorted, I will probably just start a blog and try to build up a small following from zero. Thankfully one does not need an endorser to open an account with Wordpress.
Apr 12, 2010 at 20:24 comment added The Mathemagician One of my mentors,Dr.Melvyn Nathanson,is a HUGE advocate of publishing on Archive and he encourages everyone looking for a career in mathematics to begin publishing there.I could ask him about your question,Paul.

Apr 12, 2010 at 12:27 comment added Deane Yang I suggest that you also get one or two other people to check your work for both correctness and readability.

Jan 26, 2010 at 0:22 comment added Paul Delhanty Thanks for all the answers and comments, which were all good and helpful. The consensus seems that just endorsement without affiliation might suffice for the arXiv. So I am going to complete my paper and check the result carefully. After that, if I am confident that the result stands up, work out how to contact a respected member of the combinatorics community who might be happy to endorse my paper. I am accepting Douglas' answer because of all the helpful comments.
