Journals

AMS peer-reviewed journals are of the highest quality in mathematical research. Our journals have been published since 1891 and cover a broad range of mathematics. Each journal is managed by editors who are prominent in their fields, and each is unique in its offering of articles, book reviews, and reports. In addition to publishing and distributing printed journals, the AMS offers searchable electronic versions that are available prior to the print versions. When the journal is available in electronic format, the electronic version is considered the version of record. Get information on how to subscribe to our journals or browse our current subscription rates.

NEW! AMS journal contributors receive 15% off Charlesworth's specialist language editing and publication support services.

All articles submitted to journals published by the AMS are peer-reviewed. The AMS has a single blind peer-review process in which the reviewers know who the authors of the manuscript are, but the authors do not have access to the information on who the peer reviewers are. Questions about the initial submission process should be directed to jrnl-initsub@ams.org.

Research Journals

Open access journal Communications of the American Mathematical Society

Communications of the American Mathematical Society is designed to provide a home for the very best research and review articles across all areas of mathematics. The journal will be a natural home for both pure and applied mathematics, presenting a window into a holistic view of mathematics and its applications to a wide range of disciplines. The AMS expects the journal to be a diverse and inclusive home for mathematicians around the world in support of emerging research in mathematics.


Open access journal Conformal Geometry and Dynamics

Conformal Geometry and Dynamics provides a forum for mathematical work in related fields broadly described as conformal geometry and dynamics. These include complex dynamics--and real dynamics using complex techniques--Kleinian groups, hyperbolic geometry, Teichmüller theory, and quasiconformal mappings. The journal seeks high quality original papers of both a research and an expository nature. Research in these subjects has been very lively, and the interplay between individual areas has enriched them all. Color graphics are encouraged. Conformal Geometry is a fully open access journal freely available to all readers and with no publishing fees for authors. Published in electronic format only.

Finiteness theorems for commuting and semiconjugate rational functions
Let $ B$ be a fixed rational function of one complex variable of degree at least two. In this paper, we study solutions of the functional equation $ A\circ X=X\circ B$ in rational functions $ A$ and $ X$. Our main result states that, unless $ B$ is a Lattès map or is conjugate to $ z^{\pm d}$ or $ \pm T_d$, the set of solutions is finite, up to some natural transformations. In more detail, we show that there exist finitely many rational functions $ A_1, A_2,\dots , A_r$ and $ X_1, X_2,\dots , X_r$ such that the equality $ A\circ X=X\circ B$ holds if and only if there exists a Möbius transformation $ \mu $ such that $ A=\mu \circ A_j\circ \mu ^{-1}$ and $ X=\mu \circ X_j\circ B^{\circ k}$ for some $ j,$ $ 1\leq j \leq r,$ and $ k\geq 1$. We also show that the number $ r$ and the degrees $ \deg X_j,$ $ 1\leq j \leq r,$ can be bounded from above in terms of the degree of $ B$ only. As an application, we prove an effective version of the classical theorem of Ritt about commuting rational functions.

Large genus asymptotics for volumes of strata of abelian differentials

Large genus asymptotics for volumes of strata of abelian differentials
In this paper we consider the large genus asymptotics for Masur-Veech volumes of arbitrary strata of Abelian differentials. Through a combinatorial analysis of an algorithm proposed in 2002 by Eskin-Okounkov to exactly evaluate these quantities, we show that the volume $ \nu _1 \big ( \mathcal {H}_1 (m) \big )$ of a stratum indexed by a partition $ m = (m_1, m_2, \ldots , m_n)$ is $ \big ( 4 + o(1) \big ) \prod _{i = 1}^n (m_i + 1)^{-1}$, as $ 2g - 2 = \sum _{i = 1}^n m_i$ tends to $ \infty $. This confirms a prediction of Eskin-Zorich and generalizes some of the recent results of Chen-Möller-Zagier and Sauvaget, who established these limiting statements in the special cases $ m = 1^{2g - 2}$ and $ m = (2g - 2)$, respectively.

We also include an appendix by Anton Zorich that uses our main result to deduce the large genus asymptotics for Siegel-Veech constants that count certain types of saddle connections.
