1. Introduction
Since Riemannian geometry’s inception, the idea of Riemannian immersion has been the subject of extensive study. In fact, the Riemannian manifolds that were initially intended to be examined were surfaces embedded in
[
1].
Initially, Gray and O’Neill were the first to discuss the “dual” concept of Riemannian submersion and investigated it further. Because of their applications in supergravity, the theory of relativity, and other physical theories, Riemannian submersions have received considerable attention in both mathematics and theoretical physics (see [
2,
3,
4,
5,
6,
7]). Studies on Riemannian submersion are reported in [
8,
9,
10,
11,
12].
A soliton, which is related to the geometrical flow of Riemannian (semi-Riemannian) geometry, is a significant symmetry.
However, the theory of geometric flows has emerged as one of the most important geometrical theories for illuminating Riemannian geometric structures. The study of singularities of the flows involves a certain section of solutions when the metric evolves via dilations and diffeomorphisms because they appear as potential singularity models. They are frequently referred to as solitons.
In 1988, Hamilton [
13] presented the ideas of Ricci flow and Yamabe flow for the first time. The limit of the solutions for the Ricci flow and the Yamabe flow, respectively, is shown to be the soliton of Ricci and the soliton of Yamabe. Geometric flow theory, including the Ricci flow and Yamabe flow, has drawn the attention of many mathematicians over the past two decades.
Under the term Ricci–Yamabe map, geometers [
14] initiated research concerning a novel geometric flow that is a generalization of the Ricci and Yamabe flows. Ricci–Yamabe flow of the type
is another name for this. The metrics on the Riemannian manifold defined by Guler and Crasmareanu evolve into the Ricci–Yamabe flow [
14].
An interpolation of solitons between the Ricci and Yamabe soliton is considered in the Ricci– Bourguignon soliton corresponding to Ricci–Bourguignon flow but it depends on a single scalar. Ricci–Yamabe flow can either be a Riemannian flow, a semi-Riemannian flow, or a singular Riemannian flow, depending on the sign of the associated scalars
and
. Such a range of options may be beneficial in various geometrical or physical models, such as the general theory of relativity.
Consequently, the Ricci–Yamabe soliton inevitably appears as the limit of the soliton of the Ricci–Yamabe flow. Ricci–Yamabe solitons are solitons to the Ricci–Yamabe flow that move only by one parameter group of diffeomorphism and scaling. Specifically, a Ricci–Yamabe soliton on the Riemannian manifold,
, is a data
satisfying
where the Ricci tensor is
S, the scalar curvature is
R, and the Lie-derivative along the vector field
is
. The manifold
is referred to as a Ricci–Yamabe shrinker, expander, or stable soliton depending on the constant
, whether
,
or
.
As an extension of Ricci and Yamabe solitons, Equation (
2) is referred to as a Ricci–Yamabe soliton of kind
. We see that the Ricci–Yamabe solitons of kind
and
are, respectively, the
-Ricci solitons and the
-Yamabe solitons.
The idea of an
-Ricci soliton described in [
15], is an evolutionary abstraction of the Ricci soliton. As a result, we can define the new concept similarly by amending the expression (
2) that explains the type of soliton by a multiple of a specific
-tensor field
. These findings result in a significantly more comprehensive concept, termed an
-Ricci–Yamabe soliton (briefly an
-RY soliton) of kind
defined as:
where
is a constant. Let us reiterate that
-RY solitons of kinds
or
,
, or
-type are an
-Ricci soliton and an
-Yamabe soliton, respectively. For more information about these specific cases, see [
16,
17,
18,
19,
20,
21,
22].
According to [
23], if
in (
3) is replaced with the soliton function, then we may claim that the manifold
is an almost
-RY soliton [
24]. It is important to note that they originate from the Ricci–Bourguignon flow and conformal Ricci flow, which Cantino, Mazzieri and Siddiqi recently examined [
25,
26,
27,
28]. We refer to (
3) as the core equation of an approximately
-RY soliton in this more extended context.
In [
22], the authors proved that the total manifold of a Riemannian submersion admits a Ricci soliton. In fact, the
-Ricci–Yamabe soliton is a generalization of the
-Ricci soliton from the proceedings of the
-Yamabe soliton, Yamabe soliton, and Einstein soliton. Therefore, motivated by the previous studies, in this paper, we discuss Riemannian submersions in terms of an
-Ricci–Yamabe soliton.
Example 1. Let us look at the instance of an Einstein soliton, which produces solutions to Einstein flow that are self-similar (for more details see [26]), so that
As a result, an Einstein soliton appears as the limit of the Einstein flow solution, such that
When comparing Equations (
3) and (
4) in this situation, we find that
and
, or its type
, are RY solitons.
Moreover, we note a useful definition:
Definition 1. A smooth vector field ζ on a Riemannian manifold is said to be a conformal vector field if there exists a smooth function φ on that satisfies [29]where is the Lie derivative of ζ with respect to g. If , then ζ is called a Killing vector field. 2. Riemannian Submersions
We present the additional context for Riemannian submersions (briefly ) in this part.
Let and be two Riemannian manifolds (briefly ), endowed with metrics g and , wherein .
A surjective mapping

30] if:

The projections on the vertical distribution and the horizontal distribution will be indicated by the symbols V (briefly ) and H (briefly ), respectively.
The manifold is regarded as the total manifold, and the manifold is regarded as the base manifold, as is customary.

The size of the horizontal vectors are preserved by .
These requirements are similar to claiming that the differential map of , restricted to , is a linear isometry. We obtain the following information if and are the fundamental vector fields, connected to and by :

This section discusses the
-RY soliton of kind-

Since

10),
for every

21), we find
Defining
, then, the Equation (
31) follows;
Let us mention here the “vertical potential vector field” (in brief
) and the “horizontal potential vector field” (
). Hence, we generate the following results:
Theorem 2. Let be an η-RY soliton of kind- with a ω and π be an from the Riemannian manifolds. If the is parallel, then every fiber in an is an η-RY soliton.
Remark 1. Now, for and , then, from (30), we find Therefore, one can obtain the following
Theorem 3. Let be an η-Ricci soliton of kind- with ω and π be a . If the is parallel, then every fiber in an is an η-Ricci soliton.
Remark 2. Next, setting and , so (30) entails that Therefore, one can obtain the following outcome:
Theorem 4. Let be an η-RY soliton of kind- with a ω and π be a . If the is parallel, then every fiber in an is a η-Yamabe soliton.
So, if the total space
of
admits, an
-RY soliton of kind-
, now, in view of (
3) and (
16), we obtain
where
. In addition, an
-RY soliton
of kind-
admits totally umbilical fibers and adopting (
10) in (
35), we obtain
Since with integrable
, we derive,
wherein

26), we derive
We observe, that every fiber for
is an almost
-RY soliton. As a result, one can state the following outcome:
Theorem 5. If be an η-RY soliton of kind- with a ω and π be an with totally umbilical fibers and the is integrable, then every fiber in an is an almost η-RY soliton.
Furthermore, the following results are obtained:
Theorem 6. If is an η-RY soliton of kind- with a , ω and π are an with totally umbilical fibers, and the is integrable, then every fiber in a is an almost η-Ricci soliton.
Proof. Fix

and from (
38) we derive the required outcomes. □
Theorem 7. If is an η-RY soliton of kind- with a ω and π is an with totally umbilical fibers and the is integrable, then every fiber in an is an almost η-quasi Yamabe soliton.
Proof. Putting
,
and using (
38), we gain the following: □
Assuming once more the Theorem 5, we arrive at the following corollaries:
Corollary 1. If is an η-RY soliton of kind- and π is an , and the is integrable, and if every fiber of π is totally umbilical and admits constant mean curvature, then any fiber in is an almost η-RY soliton,
Corollary 2. If is an η-RY soliton of kind- and π is an , such that the is integrable, and if every fiber of π is totally geodesic, then any fiber of an is an almost η-RY soliton,
Remark 3. In light of Corollaries 1 and 2, we can derive identical results for an almost η-Ricci soliton and an almost η-quasi Yamabe soliton.
Next, we obtain the following:
Theorem 8. If is an η-RY soliton of kind- with a and π is an and the is parallel, then the following holds:
- 1.

- 2.

Proof. As far as

Utilizing Theorems (1) to (
39), we derive

If
Z is a

Since

If
Z is a horizontal vector field, from (
40), we obtain
It is observed that the total space is an -RY soliton with the lying horizontally. □
Now, from (
43) and assuming that the vector field
Z is horizontal, we can state the following:
Theorem 9. Let be an η-RY soliton of kind-, which admits the , and π be an . If the is parallel and the vector field Z is horizontal, then is an η-quasi-Yamabe soliton with such that Once more combining Theorem (1) and (
17), we arrive at the following result:
Lemma 1. If is an η-RY soliton on π that admits ζ, such that H is parallel, then the vector field N on is Killing.
Since
is an
-RY soliton of kind-
, and again using (
17) in (
3), we find that
For any
, where
denotes an orthonormal basis of
H. Equation (
45) is derived from Theorem 1 as follows:
We may determine that

because the Riemannian manifold
is an
-Einstein. As a result, we can state the following outcome:
Theorem 10. Let be an η-RY soliton of kind on to an η-Einstein which admits ζ, such that is parallel. Then, the vector field ζ on is .

Example 2. Let be a 6-dimensional differentiable manifold where signifies the standard coordinates of a point in , and .

From Equation (

-RY soliton, verified by Equation (
16). Therefore, the data

-RY solitons referring to

The two basic instances for a specific value of and are as follows:
Case 1. For an -Ricci–Yamabe soliton of type , if , we gain and . Then, we say is an -Ricci soliton which is shrinking. This case illustrates Theorem 3.
Case 2. For an -RY soliton of kind if , we derive and ; then, we have the data is an -Yamabe soliton is expanding. This illustrates Theorem 4.
Example 3. Let be a submersion defined bywhere The Jacobi matrix of

7. Physical Applications of Solitons
As far as a physically relevant model having a solitonic solution is concerned, the theory of collapse condensates with the inter-atomic attraction and spin-orbit coupling (SOC) [
31], which is a fundamentally important effect in physical models, chiefly, Bose–Einstein condensates (BEC) [
32]. The SOC emulation proceeds by mapping the spinor wave function of electrons into a pseudo-spinor mean-field wave function in BEC, whose components represent two atomic states in the condensate. While SOC in bosonic gases is a linear effect, there is interplay with the intrinsic BEC non-linearity, including several types of one dimensional
solitons [
33]. An experimental realization of SOC in two-dimensional
geometry has been reported too [
34], which suggests, in particular, the possibility of creation of a
gap soliton [
35], supported by a combination of SOC and a spatially periodic field.
A fundamental problem that impedes the creation of
and
solitons in BES, nonlinear optics, and other nonlinear settings, is that the ubiquitous cubic self-attraction, which usually rise to solitons, simultaneously derives the critical and supercritical collapse in the
and
cases, respectively [
36]. Although SOC modifies the conditions of the existence of the solutions and of the blow-up, it does not arrest the collapse completely [
33]. The collapse destabilizes formally existing solitons, which results in stabilization of
and
solitons [
32].
In the presence of SOC, the evolution of the wave function is described by a system-coupled nonlinear PDE in the Schrödinger form [
37]
where
M is the mass of the particle,
is the SOC Hamiltonian,
B is the effective magnetic field,
is the spin operator and
is the coupling constant.
The key point in understanding the role of the SOC in the collapse process is the modified velocity
where
, including the velocity and
(
, are directly related to the particle spin.
Let the first form Rashaba spin-orbit coupling
with coupling constant
and
. The corresponding spin-dependent term in the velocity operators in Equation (
59) becomes (for more details see [
33])
In particular, in the
case, the nonlinear Schrödinger equation with cubic self-attraction term gives rise to degenerate families of the fundamental
Townes solitons [
38] with vorticity
, which means decaying solutions. Hence, Townes solitons, that play the role of separation between the type of dynamical behavior, are the completable unstable and total norm of the spinor wave function that does not exceed a critical value. Further, it also produces stable dipole and quadrupole bound states of fundamental solitons with opposite signs.
8. Application of Riemannian Submersions to Number Theory
The Hopf fibration [
39] is a Riemannian submersion
with totally geodesic fibers. In addition, a large class of Riemannian submersions are Riemannian submersions between spheres of higher dimensions, such as
whose fibers have dimension
m. The Hopf fibration asserts that the fibration generalizes the idea of a fiber bundle and plays a significant role in algebraic topology, number theory and groups theory [
40].
Every fiber in a fibration is closely connected to the homotopy group and satisfies the homotopy property [
41]. The homotopy group of spheres
essentially describes how several spheres of different dimensions may twist around one another. For the
j-th homotopy group
, the
j-dimensional sphere
can be mapped continuously to the
r-dimensional sphere
.
Now, we can make the following remark:
Remark 5. To determine the homotopy groups for positive k using the formula . The homotopy groups with are known as stable homotopy groups of spheres and are denoted by ; they are finite abelian groups for . In view of Freudenthal’s suspension theorem [42], the groups are known as unstable homotopy groups of spheres for . Now, in the light of Corollary 2 and using the above facts (5), we gain the following outcomes.
Theorem 13. If is an η-RY soliton of kind and π is an , such that the is integrable, if every fiber of π is totally geodesic and any fiber of is an almost η-RY soliton, then the homotopy group of is
Example 4. Let us adopt the example (3); we have Riemannian submersion,defined in (3). Then, according to Hopf-fibration of the fiber bundle, we have homotopy groupsTherefore, the above remark entails that i.e., . Thus, the homotopy groups are unstable homotopy groups. Remark 6. For a prime number p, the homotopy p-exponent of a topological space , denoted by , is defined to be a largest such that some homotopy group has an element of order . Cohen et al. [43] proved that the For a prime number p and an integer z, the p-adic order of z is given by .
Through the above observation, in 2007, Davis and Sun proved an interesting inequality in terms of homotopy groups. For more details see ([
44] Theorem 1.1 Page 2). According to these authors, for any prime
p and
some homotopy group
contains an element of order
, i.e., then the strong and elegant lower bound for the homotopy
p-exponent of a homotopy group is
where
is a special unitary group of degree
n.
Therefore, using Davis and Sun’s result (Theorem 1.1 [
44]) with Theorem 13, we gain an interesting inequality
Theorem 14. For any prime number p and , some homotopy group of Riemannian submersion π with totally geodesic fiber where the fiber is an almost η-RY-soliton of π, contains an element of order , we derive the inequality Example 5. Again considering the case of example (4), we have that a homotopy group of Riemannian submersion π with totally geodesic fiber is . Equation (14) also holds for homotopy group of Riemannian submersion π such that The geometric interpretation of the Hopf fibration can be obtained considering rotations of the 2-sphere in 3-dimensional space. Therefore, the rotation group
, spin group
, diffeomorphic to the 3-sphere and
, can be identified with the special unitary group
. Indeed, there are
p-local equivalences
Thus, in view (
65), we obtain
Remark 7. Each homotopy group is the product of cyclic groups of order p. In [45] Hirsi, a useful classification of homotopy groups of spheres is provided. Again, in light of example (4) or Remark 8. In [46], Herstien noted the following facts about any group of order type : 1. If G is a group of order are primes, then group G has a non-trivial normal subgroup.
2. If G is a group of order are primes, then either a p-Sylow subgroup or a q-Sylow subgroup of G must be normal.
Therefore, in light of the above remarks, we can make the following remark:
Remark 9. The order of a homotopy group of Riemanian submersion ψ can be expressed as . Therefore, The homotopy group of Riemanian submersion π has a non-trivial normal subgroup. In addition, the homotopy group of Riemanian submersion π with a 2-Sylow subgroup or a 3-Sylow subgroup of must be normal.
Remark 10. In light of Remark 9, we can also find some results for the p-Sylow subgroup of the group of spin of Riemannian submersion and the unitary group of Riemannian submersion. These facts distinguish this manuscript from previously published works based on submersion.
