Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues,

Geometric extensions of general relativity (GR) have attracted much attention in recent years due to their naturally clear interpretation as well as the interesting alternative cosmological scenarios they provide. Probably the most well-known such extensions is the metric-affine as well as the teleparallel formulations, the latter being a specific subcase of the former where the affine connection is restricted to yield vanishing curvature. The purpose of this Special Issue is to study further such generalizations/extensions of GR especially in regard to symmetry as well as their cosmological applications.

Submit your paper and select the Journal “Symmetry” and the Special Issue “Symmetry in Cosmology and Gravity: Topic and Advance ” via: MDPI submission system. Our papers will be published on a rolling basis and we will be pleased to receive your submission once you have finished it.

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.

Abstract
We search for exact analytical solutions of spherically symmetric dissipative fluid distributions satisfying the vanishing expansion condition (vanishing expansion scalar Θ). To accomplish this, we shall impose additional restrictions allowing integration of the field equations. The solutions are analyzed, and possible applications [...] Read more.
We search for exact analytical solutions of spherically symmetric dissipative fluid distributions satisfying the vanishing expansion condition (vanishing expansion scalar Θ). To accomplish this, we shall impose additional restrictions allowing integration of the field equations. The solutions are analyzed, and possible applications to astrophysical scenarios as well as alternative approaches to obtaining new solutions are discussed. Full article

Abstract
In this note, we first recall that the sets of all representatives of some special ordinary residue classes become m,n-rings. Second, we introduce a possible p-adic analog of the residue class modulo a p-adic integer. Then, we find [...] Read more.
In this note, we first recall that the sets of all representatives of some special ordinary residue classes become m,n-rings. Second, we introduce a possible p-adic analog of the residue class modulo a p-adic integer. Then, we find the relations which determine when the representatives form a m,n-ring. At very short spacetime scales, such rings could lead to new symmetries of modern particle models. Full article
