Individual skill
acta-mathematica
Use when targeting Acta Mathematica (Acta Math.) or deciding whether a pure-mathematics manuscript meets the bar of one of the most selective journals in the field. Encodes the journal's fit, framing, proof-and-rigor bar, house style, official-submission re-check, and desk-reject heuristics.

# Acta Mathematica (acta-mathematica)
## Journal positioning
Acta Mathematica, published by the Institut Mittag-Leffler (distributed by International Press), is among the most selective pure-mathematics journals in the world. Its defining character is exceptional results, not topical breadth: it publishes a small number of papers per year, drawn from across all of mathematics, that resolve major problems, introduce methods of lasting influence, or open new directions. There is no thematic restriction — analysis, geometry, number theory, algebra, dynamics, topology, and mathematical physics all appear — but the importance bar is uniform and extremely high. Readership is the research mathematics community at large, and a paper is judged on the depth, correctness, and significance of its theorems and on the durability of the techniques it introduces. This skill is a **fit / venue-selection / re-framing** tool. It does not replace the journal's current official submission guidelines or the editorial board's judgment. Before submitting, re-check the live author instructions on the Acta Mathematica / Institut Mittag-Leffler site.
## When to trigger
- The author believes a result resolves a long-standing problem or introduces a method of broad and lasting significance, and is considering the very top general venues.
- A manuscript is being weighed between Acta Mathematica and Annals of Mathematics or Inventiones Mathematicae.
- An author needs a candid read on whether a strong, correct result is also significant enough for an extremely selective generalist journal rather than a strong specialist one.
- The author needs Acta Mathematica's expectations on full rigor, exposition, and submission norms before committing.
