Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues,

Our intention is to launch a Special Edition of Axioms in which the central theme would be the generalization of Riemann spaces and their mappings.

We would provide an opportunity to present the latest achievements in many branches of theoretical and practical studies of mathematics, which are related to the theory of Riemann and generalized Riemann spaces and their mappings.

Among the topics that will address this particular issue, we can consider the following non-exhaustive list:

Riemannian Spaces and generalizations, Kenmotsu manifolds, Kaehler manifolds, manifolds with non-symmetric linear connection, cosymplectic manifolds, contact manifolds, statistical manifolds, Minkowski spaces, geodesic mappings, almost geodesic mappings, holomorphically projective mappings, warped product of manifolds, complex space forms, quaternionic space forms, golden manifolds, inequalities, invariants, immersions, etc.

In addition to the above topics, new ideas are also welcome.

In the hope that this initiative will be of interest, we encourage you to submit your current research for inclusion in the Special Issue.

Prof. Dr. Mica Stankovic
Guest Editor

We obtain on a Kähler B-manifold (i.e., a Kähler manifold with a Norden metric) some corresponding results from the Kählerian and para-Kählerian context concerning the Bochner curvature. We prove that such a manifold is of constant totally real sectional curvatures if and only if it is a holomorphic Einstein, Bochner flat manifold. Moreover, we provide the necessary and sufficient conditions for a gradient Ricci soliton or a holomorphic η-Einstein Kähler manifold with a Norden metric to be Bochner flat. Finally, we show that a Kähler B-manifold is of quasi-constant totally real sectional curvatures if and only if it is a holomorphic η-Einstein, Bochner flat manifold. Full article

The present paper deals with the investigations of a Kenmotsu manifold satisfying certain curvature conditions endowed with 🟉-η-Ricci solitons. First we find some necessary conditions for such a manifold to be φ-Einstein. Then, we study the notion of 🟉-η-Ricci soliton on this manifold and prove some significant results related to this notion. Finally, we construct a nontrivial example of three-dimensional Kenmotsu manifolds to verify some of our results. Full article

In this paper, we introduce soft complete continuity as a strong form of soft continuity and we introduce soft strong continuity as a strong form of soft complete continuity. Several characterizations, compositions, and restriction theorems are obtained. Moreover, several preservation theorems regarding soft compactness, soft Lindelofness, soft connectedness, soft regularity, soft normality, soft almost regularity, soft mild normality, soft almost compactness, soft almost Lindelofness, soft near compactness, soft near Lindelofness, soft paracompactness, soft near paracompactness, soft almost paracompactness, and soft metacompactness are obtained. In addition to these, the study deals with the correlation between our new concepts in soft topology and their corresponding concepts in general topology; as a result, we show that soft complete continuity (resp. soft strong continuity) in soft topology is an extension of complete continuity (resp. strong continuity) in soft topology.

Soft rgω-closed sets are introduced as a new class of soft sets that strictly contain the classes of soft rg-closed sets and soft gω-closed sets. Furthermore, the behavior of soft rgω-closed sets with respect to soft unions, soft intersections, and soft subspaces, as well as induced soft topologies are investigated. Moreover, soft ω-T1/2 spaces which is a weaker form soft T1/2 spaces is defined and investigated. In addition to these, the characterizations of soft rg-T1/2 spaces and soft rgω-T1/2 spaces are discussed. The work also looks at the relationship between our novel notions in soft topological spaces and their analogs in topological spaces. Full article

In this paper, we define surfaces of revolution without parabolic points in three-dimensional Lorentz–Minkowski space. Then, we classify this class of surfaces under the condition ΔIIIx=Ax, where ΔIII is the Laplace operator regarding the third fundamental form, and A is a real square matrix of order 3. We prove that such surfaces are either catenoids or surfaces of Enneper, or pseudo spheres or hyperbolic spaces centered at the origin. Full article

The author devotes this paper to defining a new class of soft open sets, namely soft Rω-open sets, and investigating their main features. With the help of examples, we show that the class of soft Rω-open sets lies strictly between the classes of soft regular open sets and soft open sets. We show that soft Rω-open subsets of a soft locally countable soft topological space coincide with the soft open sets. Moreover, we show that soft Rω-open subsets of a soft anti-locally countable coincide with the soft regular open sets. Moreover, we show that the class of soft Rω-open sets is closed under finite soft intersection, and as a conclusion, we show that this class forms a soft base for some soft topology. In addition, we define the soft δω-closure operator as a new operator in soft topological spaces. Moreover, via the soft δω-closure operator, we introduce soft δω-open sets as a new class of soft open sets which form a soft topology. Moreover, we study the correspondence between soft δω-open in soft topological spaces and δω-open in topological spaces. Full article

We introduce the notion of a Pythagorean hypersurface immersed into an n+1-dimensional pseudo-Riemannian space form of constant sectional curvature c1,0,1. By using this definition, we prove in Riemannian setting that if an isoparametric hypersurface is Pythagorean, then it is totally umbilical with sectional curvature φ+c, where φ is the Golden Ratio. We also extend this result to Lorentzian ambient space, observing the existence of a non totally umbilical model. Full article

In the homotopy theory of spaces, the image of a continuous map is contractible to a point in its cofiber. This property does not apply when we discretize spaces and continuous maps to directed graphs and their morphisms. In this paper, we give a construction of a cofiber of a directed graph map whose image is contractible in the cofiber. Our work reveals that a category-theoretically correct construction in continuous setup is no longer correct when it is discretized and hence leads to look at canonical constructions in category theory in a different perspective.

This article is devoted to geometrical aspects of conformal mappings of complete Riemannian and Kählerian manifolds and uses the Bochner technique, one of the oldest and most important techniques in modern differential geometry. A feature of this article is that the results presented here are easily obtained using a generalized version of the Bochner technique due to theorems on the connection between the geometry of a complete Riemannian manifold and the global behavior of its subharmonic, superharmonic, and convex functions.
