Is there any free (as in free beer, i.e., no publication fees or other fees whatsoever), open-access (free and open access to everyone) and peer-reviewed mathematics journal?

I am interested in a list of journals. I am particularly interested in my field which is low dimensional topology and geometry and geometric group theory.

The observation how well a site like MathOverflow or Math Stack Exchange works makes me wonder if a similar system does exist for the peer-reviewing and publication process itself.

    $\begingroup$ I believe The Electronic Journal of Combinatorics (combinatorics.org) qualifies. But this is of course not a general journal. $\endgroup$

    $\begingroup$ @Sam Thanks for posting this comment. I found that journal and was delighted to see that the articles weren't much beyond my understanding. Do you know any more journals like this ? $\endgroup$

    $\begingroup$ "Algebraic Combinatorics" (alco.centre-mersenne.org) is a "new" journal which is free open-access. See the introductory editorial here: alco.centre-mersenne.org/item/ALCO_2018__1_1_1_0 $\endgroup$

The Journal of Nonsmooth Analysis and Optimization is a "fair" (in particular diamond) open access journal that launched this year on the episciences arXiv overlay platform.

Other journals on that platform that I haven't seen mentioned yet are the journal of Groups, Complexity, Cryptology and the Epijournal de Géométrie Algébrique.

Annals of representation theory, a diamond open access electronic journal. From the description on the webpage

The Annals of Representation Theory is a diamond open access electronic international research journal. It is dedicated to publishing top quality original research articles in the general area of contemporary representation theory, including its algebraic, geometric and combinatorial aspects.

There is no fee for authors, and there is immediate open access to published papers.

The journal is owned and published by NTNU. The web-publisher is Centre Mersenne. The journal is run by and for mathematicians.

See https://art.centre-mersenne.org/page/editorial-team_en/ for the list of editors.
