Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues,

The applications of topology, topological groups, and analysis are in a wide array of domains ranging from the physical sciences (such as physics, chemistry, and biology) to the mathematical sciences. The presence of the concept of symmetry/asymmetry can be found in various natural observations. Algebraic as well as geometric topology includes various forms and aspects of symmetries/asymmetries within the space with computational applications. There can be two broad approaches to topology and topological group structures: (1) the presence of symmetry/asymmetry within a topological space itself and (2) the presence of symmetry/asymmetry of different algebraic structures contained within a topological space. This Special Issue on “Topological Structures and Analysis with Applications” invites original research papers and extended as well as analytical survey papers in this area. Authors are invited to submit papers on pure and applied topology, topological groups with applications, and topological analysis. Authors are invited to submit full-length manuscripts for publication in the Symmetry journal of MDPI.  All submitted manuscripts will go through the standard peer-review process by experts in the field.

This paper introduces two novel concepts of mappings over soft topological spaces: “soft somewhat-r-continuity” and “soft somewhat-r-openness”. We provide characterizations and discuss soft composition and soft subspaces. With the use of examples, we offer numerous connections between these two notions and their accompanying concepts. We also offer extension theorems for them. Finally, we investigated a symmetry between our new concepts with their topological analogs. Full article

The space-time geometry is rooted in the Minkowski 4-manifold. Minkowski and Euclidean topological 4-manifolds behave differently in view of compactness and local homogeneity. As a result, Zeno sequences are selectively admitted in such topological spaces. In this paper, the generalizations of topologically fibered n-spaces are proposed to formulate topological decomposition and the formation of projective fibered n-subspaces. The concept of quasi-compact fibering is introduced to analyze the formation of Zeno sequences in topological n-spaces (i.e., n-manifolds), where a quasi-compact fiber relaxes the Minkowski-type (algebraically) strict ordering relation under topological projections. The topological analyses of fibered Minkowski as well as Euclidean 4-spaces are presented under quasi-compact fibering and topological projections. The topological n-spaces endowed with quasi-compact fibers facilitated the detection of local as well as global compactness and the non-analytic behavior of a continuous function. It is illustrated that the 5-manifold with boundary embedding Minkowski 4-space transformed a quasi-compact fiber into a compact fiber maintaining generality. Full article

We apply Geometric Arbitrage Theory (GAT) to obtain results in mathematical finance for credit markets, which do not need stochastic differential geometry in their formulation. The remarkable aspect of the GAT is the gauge symmetry, which can be translated to the financial context, by packaging all of the asset model information into a (stochastic) principal fiber bundle. We obtain closed-form equations involving default intensities and loss-given defaults characterizing the no-free-lunch-with-vanishing-risk condition for government and corporate bond markets while relying on the spread-term structure with default intensity and loss-given default. Moreover, we provide a sufficient condition equivalent to the Novikov condition implying the absence of arbitrage. Furthermore, the generic dynamics for an isolated credit market allowing for arbitrage possibilities (and minimizing the total quantity of potential arbitrage) are derived, and arbitrage credit bubbles for both base credit assets and credit derivatives are explicitly computed. The existence of an approximated risk-neutral measure allowing the definition of fundamental values for the assets is inferred through spectral theory. We show that instantaneous bond returns are serially uncorrelated and centered, that the expected value of credit bubbles remains constant for future times where no coupons are paid, and that the variance of the market portfolio nominals is concurrent with that of the corresponding bond deflators.

In the field of data science and data mining, the problem associated with clustering features and determining its optimum number is still under research consideration. This paper presents a new 2D clustering algorithm based on a mathematical topological theory that uses a pseudometric space and takes into account the local and global topological properties of the data to be clustered. Taking into account cluster symmetry property, from a metric and mathematical-topological point of view, the analysis was carried out only in the positive region, reducing the number of calculations in the clustering process. The new clustering theory is inspired by the thermodynamics principle of energy. Thus, both topologies are recursively taken into account. The proposed model is based on the interaction of particles defined through measuring homogeneous-energy criterion. Based on the energy concept, both general and local topologies are taken into account for clustering. The effect of the integration of a new element into the cluster on homogeneous-energy criterion is analyzed. If the new element does not alter the homogeneous-energy of a group, then it is added; otherwise, a new cluster is created. The mathematical-topological theory and the results of its application on public benchmark datasets are presented. Full article

The interplay between topological hyperconvex spaces and sigma-finite measures in such spaces gives rise to a set of analytical observations. This paper introduces the Noetherian class of k-finite k-hyperconvex topological subspaces (NHCs) admitting countable finite covers. A sigma-finite measure is constructed in a sigma-semiring in a NHC under a topological ordering of NHCs. The topological ordering relation maintains the irreflexive and anti-symmetric algebraic properties while retaining the homeomorphism of NHCs. The monotonic measure sequence in a NHC determines the convexity and compactness of topological subspaces. Interestingly, the topological ordering in NHCs in two isomorphic topological spaces induces the corresponding ordering of measures in sigma-semirings. Moreover, the uniform topological measure spaces of NHCs need not always preserve the pushforward measures, and a NHC semiring is functionally separable by a set of inner-measurable functions.

In general, the braid structures in a topological space can be classified into algebraic forms and geometric forms. This paper investigates the properties of a braid structure involving 2-simplices and a set of directed braid-paths in view of algebraic as well as geometric topology. The 2-simplices are of the cyclically oriented variety embedded within the disjoint topological covering subspaces where the finite braid-paths are twisted as well as directed. It is shown that the generated homotopic simplicial braids form Abelian groups and the twisted braid-paths successfully admit several varieties of twisted discrete path-homotopy equivalence classes, establishing a set of simplicial fibers. Furthermore, a set of discrete-loop fundamental groups are generated in the covering spaces where the appropriate weight assignments generate multiplicative group structures under a variety of homological formal sums. Interestingly, the resulting smallest non-trivial group is not necessarily unique. The proposed variety of homological formal sum exhibits a loop absorption property if the homotopy path-products are non-commutative. It is considered that the topological covering subspaces are simply connected under embeddings with local homeomorphism maintaining generality. Full article
