Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues,

This year, Axioms is celebrating its 10th anniversary from the launch of its inaugural issue in 2012. We greatly appreciate the efforts and support of our authors, reviewers, readers and editors over the last ten years. To mark this significant milestone and commemorate the journal’s achievements throughout the years, we are organizing a Special Issue entitled "10th Anniversary of Axioms: Geometry and Topology”.

This Special Issue will present a collection of high-quality original research articles and surveys in the fields of geometry and topology. Articles considering significant open questions are encouraged. Of particular interest are contributions addressing topics including, but not limited to: algebraic geometry; analytic geometry; computational geometry; differential geometry; discrete geometry; symplectic geometry; hyperbolic geometry; finite geometry; geometric group theory; affine geometry; general topology; low-dimensional topology; algebraic topology; differential topology; geometric topology; topological groups; Lie groups; topological algebra; geometry of Banach spaces; and topological vector spaces. Papers detailing applications of topology and geometry to art, architecture, computer science, physics, astronomy, set theory, differential equations, and string theory are especially encouraged.

In this Special Issue on geometry and topology, we seek to address topics which fall into these diverse categories. Original articles reporting recent progress and survey articles are also sought. Authors are encouraged to contemplate interesting open questions.

The stereographic projection is constructed in topological modules. Let A be an additively symmetric closed subset of a topological R-module M such that

0 \in int (A)

. If there exists a continuous functional

m^{*} : M \to R

in the dual module

M^{*}

, an invertible

s \in U (R)

and an element a in the topological boundary

bd (A)

of A in such a way that

{(m^{*})}^{- 1} ({s}) \cap int (A) = ⌀

a \in {(m^{*})}^{- 1} ({s}) \cap bd (A)

, and

s + m^{*} (bd (A) \ {- a}) \subseteq U (R)

, then the following function

b \mapsto - a + 2 s {(m^{*} (b) + s)}^{- 1} (b + a)

, from

bd (A) \ {- a}

{(m^{*})}^{- 1} ({s})

, is a well-defined stereographic projection (also continuous if multiplicative inversion is continuous on R). Finally, we provide sufficient conditions for the previous stereographic projection to become a homeomorphism. Full article

Yamabe Solitons on Conformal Almost-Contact Complex Riemannian Manifolds with Vertical Torse-Forming Vector Field

by Mancho Manev

Axioms 2023, 12(1), 44; https://doi.org/10.3390/axioms12010044 - 01 Jan 2023

Cited by 1 | Viewed by 1094

Abstract

A Yamabe soliton is considered on an almost-contact complex Riemannian manifold (also known as an almost-contact B-metric manifold), which is obtained by a contact conformal transformation of the Reeb vector field, its dual contact 1-form, the B-metric, and its associated B-metric. A case in which the potential is a torse-forming vector field of constant length on the vertical distribution determined by the Reeb vector field is studied. In this way, manifolds from one of the main classes of the studied manifolds are obtained. The same class contains the conformally equivalent manifolds of cosymplectic manifolds by the usual conformal transformation of the given B-metric. An explicit five-dimensional example of a Lie group is given, which is characterized in relation to the obtained results. Full article

Schwarzschild Spacetimes: Topology

by Demeter Krupka and Ján Brajerčík

Axioms 2022, 11(12), 693; https://doi.org/10.3390/axioms11120693 - 04 Dec 2022

Abstract

This paper is devoted to the geometric theory of a Schwarzschild spacetime, a basic objective in applications of the classical general relativity theory. In a broader sense, a Schwarzschild spacetime is a smooth manifold, endowed with an action of the special orthogonal group SO(3) and a Schwarzschild metric, an SO(3)-invariant metric field, satisfying the Einstein equations. We prove the existence of and find all Schwarzschild metrics on two topologically non-equivalent manifolds,

R \times (R^{3} ∖ {(0, 0, 0)})

and

S^{1} \times (R^{3} ∖ {(0, 0, 0)})

. The method includes a classification of SO(3)-invariant, time-translation invariant and time-reflection invariant metrics on

R \times (R^{3} ∖ {(0, 0, 0)})

and a winding mapping of the real line

R

onto the circle

S^{1}

. The resulting family of Schwarzschild metrics is parametrized by an arbitrary function and two real parameters, the integration constants. For any Schwarzschild metric, one of the parameters determines a submanifold, where the metric is not defined, the Schwarzschild sphere. In particular, the family admits a global metric whose Schwarzschild sphere is empty. These results transfer to

S^{1} \times (R^{3} ∖ {(0, 0, 0)})

by the winding mapping. All our assertions are derived independently of the signature of the Schwarzschild metric; the signature can be chosen as an independent axiom. Full article

Chaos in Topological Modules

by Francisco Javier García-Pacheco

Axioms 2022, 11(10), 526; https://doi.org/10.3390/axioms11100526 - 02 Oct 2022

Abstract

Chaotic and pathological phenomena in topological modules are studied in this manuscript. In particular, constructions of noncontinuous linear functionals are provided for a wide variety of topological modules. In addition, constructions of balanced and absorbing sets which are not neighborhoods of zero are also given in an extensive class of topological modules. Finally, we construct a linearly open set with empty interior in a large amount of topological modules. All these constructions are related to each other. Prior to developing all these results, we provide an axiomatization of the topological concept of limit by introducing the limit operators in a similar context as hull operators or closure operators are defined.
