Acta Mathematica Sinica is a peer-reviewed mathematical journal published by the Chinese Mathematical Society that presents research across pure and applied mathematics. The journal has published articles by contributors connected to institutions such as Peking University, Tsinghua University, Fudan University, Chinese Academy of Sciences, and international centers including Princeton University, Harvard University, University of Cambridge, Stanford University, and Massachusetts Institute of Technology. It functions as a platform for interactions among mathematicians associated with figures such as Shiing-Shen Chern, Kunihiko Kodaira, André Weil, Lars Ahlfors, and contemporaries linked to programs at Institute for Advanced Study, Courant Institute of Mathematical Sciences, Institute des Hautes Études Scientifiques, and Centre national de la recherche scientifique.

History

The journal began amid a period when mathematicians in China sought institutional outlets following developments involving scholars like Xu Xianyu and collaborations with visitors from Princeton University and University of Chicago. Early volumes reflected influences from the work of Élie Cartan, David Hilbert, Emmy Noether, Henri Poincaré, and Srinivasa Ramanujan as Chinese mathematical schools expanded. During the mid-20th century it paralleled growth seen at institutions such as Moscow State University and University of Göttingen and engaged with international currents exemplified by exchanges involving André Weil and delegations connected to the International Mathematical Union. Later decades saw contributions by researchers trained in programs affiliated with University of California, Berkeley, Yale University, Columbia University, University of Oxford, University of Tokyo, Seoul National University, National University of Singapore, and research centers like Los Alamos National Laboratory.

Scope and Content

Acta publishes articles in areas including algebraic geometry linked to problems treated by Alexander Grothendieck and Jean-Pierre Serre, number theory in the tradition of G. H. Hardy and John von Neumann, partial differential equations following themes from Lars Hörmander and Richard Courant, and topology connected to Henri Poincaré and René Thom. The journal also covers functional analysis with echoes of Stefan Banach and Israel Gelfand, probability theory reflecting lines from Andrey Kolmogorov and Paul Erdős, and mathematical physics in the lineage of Enrico Fermi, Richard Feynman, and Murray Gell-Mann. Articles have ranged from foundational work invoking methods of Kurt Gödel and Alan Turing to applied contributions resonant with research at Bell Labs, IBM Research, and Sandia National Laboratories.

Publication and Editorial Information

The publisher, the Chinese Mathematical Society, oversees editorial policy with editorial boards often including academics affiliated with Peking University, Tsinghua University, Fudan University, University of Science and Technology of China, and international scholars from Princeton University, Harvard University, ETH Zurich, University of Cambridge, and Imperial College London. Editors have included prominent mathematicians who trained under figures like Shiing-Shen Chern and Kunihiko Kodaira and who have collaborations with research groups at Max Planck Institute for Mathematics, Mathematical Sciences Research Institute, and Kavli Institute for Theoretical Physics. The journal issues follow peer review standards comparable to those at Annals of Mathematics, Inventiones Mathematicae, Journal of the American Mathematical Society, and Communications on Pure and Applied Mathematics.

Indexing and Impact

Acta is indexed in major databases and cited in literature alongside works appearing in Mathematical Reviews, Zentralblatt MATH, and bibliographies curated by institutions like American Mathematical Society and European Mathematical Society. Its citation patterns intersect with landmark results attributed to scholars such as Yitang Zhang, Terence Tao, Grigori Perelman, Andrew Wiles, and Manjul Bhargava, and it participates in scholarly networks connected to conferences organized by International Congress of Mathematicians and regional meetings like Asia Pacific Mathematics Conference. The journal’s impact is measured relative to journals including Proceedings of the London Mathematical Society, Duke Mathematical Journal, Acta Mathematica, and Transactions of the American Mathematical Society.

Notable Papers and Contributions

Noteworthy contributions have engaged with conjectures and theorems that relate to the work of Srinivasa Ramanujan, Bernhard Riemann, Carl Friedrich Gauss, Joseph-Louis Lagrange, and Leonhard Euler. Articles have treated topics adjacent to breakthroughs by Andrew Wiles on Fermat's Last Theorem, Grigori Perelman on the Poincaré conjecture, and advances in analytic number theory associated with Atle Selberg and Harold Davenport. Papers in spectral theory and operator algebras connect to research by John von Neumann, John Milnor, Michael Atiyah, and Isadore Singer, while contributions in combinatorics and graph theory intersect with work of Paul Erdős, László Lovász, William Tutte, and Noga Alon.

Accessibility and Availability

Issues are distributed through channels used by institutions such as National Library of China, Library of Congress, British Library, Bibliothèque nationale de France, and academic consortia at JSTOR-participating libraries and university subscriptions at Peking University Library, Harvard University Library, Bodleian Libraries, and National Diet Library. Electronic access is managed in cooperation with indexing services employed by MathSciNet and aggregators used by university presses like Oxford University Press and Cambridge University Press. Physical holdings appear in departmental libraries at Tsinghua University, University of Tokyo, University of California, Berkeley, and research institutes including Institute of Mathematics of the Chinese Academy of Sciences.
