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, all of which are free to read online.
