The abstract environment centers its paragraphs on the page
in article class.
getting the table of contents centered requires minipage:
\hfill provides the even spacing on both sides of the box
\begin{document}
\maketitle
\begin{abstract}
\ldots
\end{abstract}
\hspace{0pt}%strut
\hfill%
\begin{minipage}{.8\textwidth}%review abstract to get same width
\tableofcontents
\end{minipage}
\hfill%
\hspace{0pt}%strut
\newpage\twocolumn
