Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues,

Modern Geometry is a rapidly developing branch of mathematics with plenty of applications, especially in sciences, engineering and arts. Symmetries under coordinate transformation and other transformations play a central role in geometry.
The goal of this Special Issue is to present a collection of recent advances in geometry, its symmetries and applications. Geometrical Seminar is a series of international scientific meetings on advances in geometry and its applications with a long tradition. The XXI Geometrical Seminar is postponed to be held face to face on June 26–July 2, 2022 in Belgrade, Serbia, http://poincare.matf.bg.ac.rs/~geometricalseminar/. We plan for selected papers of contributions to the XXI Geometrical Seminar to make up a significant part of this Special Issue. Other submissions are also very welcome.

Manuscript Submission Information

Manuscripts should be submitted online at www.mdpi.com by registering and logging in to this website. Once you are registered, click here to go to the submission form. Manuscripts can be submitted until the deadline. All submissions that pass pre-check are peer-reviewed. Accepted papers will be published continuously in the journal (as soon as accepted) and will be listed together on the special issue website. Research articles, review articles as well as short communications are invited. For planned papers, a title and short abstract (about 100 words) can be sent to the Editorial Office for announcement on this website.

Submitted manuscripts should not have been published previously, nor be under consideration for publication elsewhere (except conference proceedings papers). All manuscripts are thoroughly refereed through a single-blind peer-review process. A guide for authors and other relevant information for submission of manuscripts is available on the Instructions for Authors page. Symmetry is an international peer-reviewed open access monthly journal published by MDPI.

Please visit the Instructions for Authors page before submitting a manuscript. The Article Processing Charge (APC) for publication in this open access journal is 2400 CHF (Swiss Francs). Submitted papers should be well formatted and use good English. Authors may use MDPI's English editing service prior to publication or during author revisions.

Benefits of Publishing in a Special Issue

  • Ease of navigation: Grouping papers by topic helps scholars navigate broad scope journals more efficiently.
  • Greater discoverability: Special Issues support the reach and impact of scientific research. Articles in Special Issues are more discoverable and cited more frequently.
  • Expansion of research network: Special Issues facilitate connections among authors, fostering scientific collaborations.
  • External promotion: Articles in Special Issues are often promoted through the journal's social media, increasing their visibility.
  • e-Book format: Special Issues with more than 10 articles can be published as dedicated e-books, ensuring wide and rapid dissemination.

F-polynomials for virtual knots were defined by Kaur, Prabhakar and Vesnin in 2018 using flat virtual knot invariants. These polynomials naturally generalize Kauffman’s affine index polynomial and use smoothing in the classical crossing of a virtual knot diagram. In this paper, we introduce weight functions for ordered orientable virtual and flat virtual links. A flat virtual link is an equivalence class of virtual links with respect to a local symmetry changing a type of classical crossing in a diagram. By considering three types of smoothing in classical crossings of a virtual link diagram and suitable weight functions, there is provided a recurrent construction for new invariants. It is demonstrated by explicit examples that newly defined polynomial invariants are stronger than F-polynomials. Full article

We study the complete, compact, locally affine manifolds equipped with a k-symplectic structure, which are the quotients of Rn(k+1) by a subgroup Γ of the affine group A(n(k+1)) of Rn(k+1) acting freely and properly discontinuously on Rn(k+1) and leaving invariant the k-symplectic structure, then we construct and give some examples and properties of compact, complete, locally affine two-symplectic manifolds of dimension three.
