      abstract     = {Measurements of the $W^{\pm} \rightarrow \ell^{\pm} \nu$
                      and $Z \rightarrow \ell^+ \ell^-$ production cross sections
                      (where $\ell^{\pm}=e^{\pm},\mu^{\pm}$) in proton-proton
                      collisions at $\sqrt{s}=13$ TeV are presented using data
                      recorded by the ATLAS experiment at the Large Hadron
                      Collider, corresponding to a total integrated luminosity of
                      81 pb$^{-1}$. The total inclusive $W^{\pm}$-boson production
                      cross sections times the single-lepton-flavour branching
                      ratios are $\sigma_{W^+}^{tot}= 11.78 \pm 0.02 (stat) \pm
                      0.32 (sys) \pm 0.59 (lumi)$ nb and $\sigma_{W^-}^{tot} =
                      8.75 \pm 0.02 (stat) \pm 0.24 (sys) \pm 0.44 (lumi)$ nb for
                      $W^+$ and $W^-$, respectively. The total inclusive $Z$-boson
                      production cross section times leptonic branching ratio,
                      within the invariant mass window $66 < m_{\ell\ell} < 116$
                      GeV, is $\sigma_{Z}^{tot} = 1.97 \pm 0.01 (stat) \pm 0.04
                      (sys) \pm 0.10 (lumi)$ nb. The $W^+$, $W^-$, and $Z$-boson
                      production cross sections and cross-section ratios within a
                      fiducial region defined by the detector acceptance are also
                      measured. The cross-section ratios benefit from significant
                      cancellation of experimental uncertainties, resulting in
                      $\sigma_{W^+}^{fid}/\sigma_{W^-}^{fid} = 1.295 \pm 0.003
                      (stat) \pm 0.010 (sys)$ and
                      $\sigma_{W^{\pm}}^{fid}/\sigma_{Z}^{fid} = 10.31 \pm 0.04
                      (stat) \pm 0.20 (sys)$. Theoretical predictions, based on
                      calculations accurate to next-to-next-to-leading order for
                      quantum chromodynamics and next-to-leading order for
                      electroweak processes and which employ different parton
                      distribution function sets, are compared to these
                      measurements.},
