Overview of Journal Aims and Scope

Applied & Computational Topology & Geometry (ACTG) publishes high-quality research papers at the intersection of computational mathematics and geometric/topological methods, with a particular focus on algorithmic and applied aspects of algebraic geometry and algebraic topology. The journal particularly encourages submissions that bridge theoretical foundations with practical applications, and those that make sophisticated mathematical tools more accessible to applied researchers.

ACTG welcomes submissions in areas including, but not limited to:

Computational Algebraic Topology
- Persistence theory
- Topological data analysis
- Discrete Morse theory
- Invariants from quiver representations and homological algebra
- Computational aspects of sheaf theory
- Stochastic topology
- Topological methods in machine learning
- Manifold learning and dimension reduction
 
Computational Algebraic Geometry
- Effective methods in commutative algebra
- Gröbner basis computation and other symbolic algorithms
- Computational aspects of toric varieties and combinatorial methods in algebraic geometry
- Algorithms in intersection theory and singularity theory  
- Tropical geometry
- Real algebraic and semi-algebraic geometry
- Numerical methods in algebraic geometry
- Algebraic statistics

Applications
- Scientific computing and numerical analysis
- Computer vision and graphics
- Robot motion planning and control
- Materials science and chemistry
- Computational biology
- Signal processing and data analysis
- Machine learning and artificial intelligence
- Mathematical physics

Submitting to ACTG

ACTG uses the EditFlow system for article submission and review. You may submit an article using the link here: https://ef.msp.org/submit/amr_actg

Please follow the instructions at the link above. For initial submission we ask for a file in pdf format. You will (optionally) be asked to suggest one or more editors who would be well placed to handle your submission, a list of the editors and their areas of expertise may be found here: Editorial Team.

In addition we require the following information for each accepted paper:

  • A complete physical address and email for each author,
  • A title and abstract,
  • A list of keywords,
  • A list of AMS subject classification numbers (we use the 2020 versions),
  • Funding information, if any, for all authors.

Accepted submissions will be formatted in the ACTG latex template prior to publication. LaTeX files are not collected on initial submission and will be requested only after acceptance. Note we are only able to process articles written in LaTex and request that authors keep their LaTex setup as simple as possible as this makes it easier to typeset in the journal template.
