Publications Mathématiques de l'IHÉS is a peer-reviewed mathematics journal founded at the Institut des Hautes Études Scientifiques under the aegis of figures associated with Jean-Pierre Serre, Alexander Grothendieck, Henri Cartan, André Weil and Claude Chevalley, publishing landmark research in algebraic geometry, number theory, topology and mathematical physics. The journal has housed foundational papers connected to developments by Alexander Grothendieck, Jean-Pierre Serre, Pierre Deligne, John Milnor and Michael Atiyah and is closely associated with the intellectual milieu of Bourbaki, Université Paris-Saclay and the broader European mathematical community.

History

The journal was established in 1959 at the founding of the Institut des Hautes Études Scientifiques by patrons including Maurice de Broglie and intellectual organizers linked to Élie Cartan, Henri Cartan, André Weil, and administrators interacting with institutions such as École Normale Supérieure, Collège de France, CNRS and Université Paris-Sud. Early volumes published transformative manuscripts by Alexander Grothendieck, Jean-Pierre Serre, André Weil, Armand Borel, Jean-Louis Koszul and Jean Leray, shaping trajectories in the work of later figures like Pierre Deligne and Nicholas Katz. Through the Cold War and the détente era the journal served as a conduit for exchanges among scholars at Princeton University, Harvard University, Moscow State University, University of Chicago and École Polytechnique, reinforcing ties between the IHÉS and institutions such as Institute for Advanced Study, Max Planck Society and Royal Society. The late twentieth century saw editorial stewardship involving mathematicians associated with Grothendieck's Séminaire de Géométrie Algébrique, Bourbaki seminars, and collaborators from Institute for Advanced Study and Stanford University.

The editorial board has historically comprised leading mathematicians affiliated with Institut des Hautes Études Scientifiques, Collège de France, CNRS, École Normale Supérieure and visiting scholars from Princeton University, Harvard University, University of Cambridge, University of Oxford and ETH Zurich. The journal follows a selective, invitation- and submission-based model with peer review reflecting practices common to journals like Annals of Mathematics, Acta Mathematica, Inventiones Mathematicae and Journal of the American Mathematical Society. Editorial decisions have involved correspondences with authors at IHÉS seminars, Séminaire Bourbaki, Institute for Advanced Study lectures, and conferences connected to International Congress of Mathematicians, European Mathematical Society meetings and summer schools at Mathematical Sciences Research Institute. Production and distribution have been coordinated with publishers and repositories associated with Springer Netherlands distribution channels and national libraries such as Bibliothèque nationale de France.

The scope emphasizes research in algebraic geometry, number theory, homological algebra, differential topology, representation theory and mathematical aspects of quantum field theory and string theory with articles by luminaries including Alexander Grothendieck, Pierre Deligne, Jean-Pierre Serre, John Milnor, Michael Atiyah, Isadore Singer, David Mumford, Armand Borel, Gérard Laumon, Robert Langlands and Joseph Bernstein. Landmark papers include foundational works connected to Weil conjectures, Hodge theory, étale cohomology, motives and the development of scheme theory and stack theory, influencing subsequent research by Vladimir Drinfeld, Maxim Kontsevich, Edward Witten, Curtis T. McMullen, Benedict Gross and Nicholas Katz. The journal has also published articles related to advances by Simon Donaldson, Karen Uhlenbeck, Grigori Perelman-adjacent fields, and interactions with mathematical physics communities at CERN and Perimeter Institute.

The journal is indexed and abstracted in major services used by mathematicians affiliated with Mathematical Reviews, Zentralblatt MATH, Scopus, Web of Science and catalogues maintained by Bibliothèque nationale de France and Library of Congress. Citation tracking and impact assessments reference indices similar to those for Annals of Mathematics, Inventiones Mathematicae and Acta Mathematica, and entries appear in databases used by scholars at Princeton University, Harvard University, Stanford University and repositories tied to arXiv and national research agencies such as CNRS.

The publication record has contributed to awarding of major recognitions to authors associated with the journal, including Fields Medal recipients, Abel Prize laureates and holders of the Wolf Prize in Mathematics, reflecting influence comparable to journals like Annals of Mathematics, Inventiones Mathematicae, Journal of the American Mathematical Society and Acta Mathematica. The reception among communities at Institut des Hautes Études Scientifiques, Institute for Advanced Study, École Normale Supérieure and departments at Princeton University, Harvard University, University of Cambridge and University of Oxford situates the journal within elite research networks that have shaped modern trends initiated by Grothendieck, Deligne, Serre and Weil.

Back issues and archival materials are maintained by Institut des Hautes Études Scientifiques and distributed through repositories used by institutions such as Bibliothèque nationale de France, Gallica, Library of Congress and university libraries at Princeton University, Harvard University and Université Paris-Saclay. Digitization efforts parallel initiatives at arXiv, NUMDAM and collaborative digitization projects involving INRIA and national library partners, while physical holdings are available in research libraries associated with Institute for Advanced Study, Max Planck Society institutes and major European universities.
