About

The Proceedings of the London Mathematical Society is the Society鈥檚 flagship, highest impact,  peer-reviewed journal.

Published since 1865, the Proceedings of the London Mathematical Society publishes articles of the highest quality and significance across a broad range of mathematics. There are no page length restrictions for submitted papers

Not-for-profit publishing

The Proceedings of the London Mathematical Society is wholly owned and managed by the London Mathematical Society as one of its charitable activities.

100% of the funds generated by the Society鈥檚 publications are reinvested in mathematics, supporting mathematicians and mathematics research in the form of research grants, conference grants, prizes, initiatives for early career researchers, and the promotion of mathematics.

Publishing your research in the Proceedings of the London Mathematical Society directly supports the charitable work of the Society.

On Acceptance

Upon acceptance, your paper will be sent to Wiley for typesetting. You will receive a link to check your proofs via an online proofing tool. There is also an option to view these proofs as a PDF (using a button in the top right-hand corner of the tool). Production queries should be sent to plms@wiley.com (Wiley) or production@lms.ac.uk (新澳开奖Editorial Office).

Authors will be asked to agree to assign an Exclusive Licence to Publish to the Society or alternatively to opt to make the paper open access.

Open Access

The Proceedings of the London Mathematical Society is a hybrid open access journal. By default, articles in the journal will be published on a subscription basis and only be accessible to journal subscribers. The journal has options for gold and green open access publication.

Before submitting to the Proceedings of the London Mathematical Society, authors should .

If you are required to publish on an open access basis but you cannot identify a compliant route with Proceedings of the London Mathematical Society, please contact the journal team before submitting.

Gold open access publication

Gold open access means that the Article Version of Record is freely available to access immediately upon publication and re-use rights are governed by the author鈥檚 chosen Creative Commons licence.

Gold open access publication is available for authors who:

  • Qualify for complementary gold open access publication through ; or
  • Choose to pay an Article Publication Charge (APC).
    USD 4,700 | GBP 3,120 | EUR 3,880


Authors choosing to publish on a gold open access basis will need to choose a Creative Commons licence from the following list.

  •  (Attribution 4.0 International License)
  •  (Attribution-NonCommercial 4.0 International License)
  • (Attribution-NonCommercial-NoDerivs 4.0 International License)


Green open access

The Proceedings of the London Mathematical Society also supports authors who choose to deposit their Author Accepted Manuscript on a non-commercial or institutional repository. This is usually known as green open access.

The Author Accepted Manuscript must be accompanied by a notice as follows: 鈥淭his is the Author Accepted Manuscript version of the following article: [Full Citation], which has been published in final form at [Link to final article].鈥

There is no embargo period for posting the accepted version of the manuscript in arXiv or an institutional repository. 

Open Access Terminology

Article Version of Record 鈥 The final edited and typeset version of the article which is published in the journal.

Author Accepted Manuscript 鈥 The version of the article which was accepted by the journal editors after peer review, but has not yet been copyedited or typeset by the publisher.

Subscription publication 鈥 The Article Version of Record is published in the journal and is only accessible to journal subscribers.

Gold open access publication 鈥 The Article Version of Record is immediately freely available to access upon publication. Article re-use rights are governed by the author鈥檚 chosen Creative Commons licence.

Green open access publication 鈥 The article Version of Record is published as a Subscription publication. The author chooses to deposit the Author Accepted Manuscript on a non-commercial or institutional repository.

Article Publication Charge (APC) 鈥 A charge paid to the publisher to allow gold open access publication.

Editor's Choice

Founded in 1865, the Proceedings is the flagship journal of the LMS.  Over its long history it has published many significant papers including those by Atiyah, Donaldson, Hardy, Ramanujan, Rayleigh and Turing

More recently, in 2019, a new, independent Editorial Board of international experts was appointed to identify papers of the highest quality and significance across a broad spectrum of mathematics. The aim of these changes was to further elevate the position of the journal and strengthen its position with relation to other top-flight mathematics journals.

Over the last three years the Proceedings Editorial Board have accepted many papers of high-quality and significance.  The Managing Editors, Tim Browning and Oscar Randal-Williams have chosen six such articles to highlight:

Symplectomorphisms with positive metric entropy
Artur Avila, Sylvain Crovisier and Amie Wilkinson

A general and deep result providing a complete answer to an old question of Ma帽茅.

The density of polynomials of degree n over 鈩 having exactly r roots in 鈩歱
Manjul Bhargava, John Cremona, Tom Fisher and Stevan Gajovi膰

Some surprising and down to earth statements about roots of polynomials over 鈩.

Shift-invariance for vertex models and polymers
Alexei Borodin, Vadim Gorin and Michael Wheeler

This paper establishes some highly non-trivial invariance properties for a wide class of integrable models.

Complete Moduli of Cubic Threefolds and their Intermediate Jacobians
Sebastian Casalaina-Martin, Samuel Grushevsky, Klaus Hulek and Radu Laza

This paper solves an important algebraic geometry question about the Torelli map from the space of cubic threefolds.

Motivic Chern classes and K-theoretic stable envelopes
L谩szl贸 M. Feh茅r, Rich谩rd Rim谩nyi, Andrzej Weber

An influential paper relating invariants of singular spaces to quantum groups.

Independent sets in hypergraphs with a forbidden link
Jacob Fox and Xiaoyu He

This work provides a solution to a 50-year-old problem of Erd艖s and Hajnal.
