The definition for $U_q$ looks the same in the PDF and in the DVI file here. Look at complaints from the DVI viewer you are using (in Unix I'd tell you to run it from a terminal and see its output there... I have never used MikTeX so I don't know the equivalent there.) for messages about fonts not being found. | |
| Apr 29, 2010 at 19:20 | comment | added | Mariano Suárez-Álvarez | I have just tried compiling your .tex file with a TeXLive installation updated as of 5 minutes and a PGF/TikZ package (from texample.net/tikz/builds) as of ten days (the latests cvs release, I guess) and the formulas in your diagrams show all missplaced. I doubt arXiv has its tex installation up to the latest release of everything, so I honestly have no idea what MikTeX is doing for you! Can you email me a correct dvi file for me to look?
