About International Journal of Topology

Aims

International Journal of Topology (ISSN 2813-9542) is an international, peer-reviewed, open access journal that explores how the same spatial attributes in constantly changing situations are maintained and elucidates the set structure and functional relationships of spaces. Its scope includes, for example, differential topology, algebraic topology, manifold topology, homology theory, low-dimensional topology, fuzzy sets, and their relationship with physics/biology/engineering/social science/artificial intelligence—fields of research that are widely applied in numerous disciplines. The journal focuses on publishing research articles, reviews, and communications, but other article types will also be considered. Our aim is to quickly and conveniently publish the latest experimental and theoretical research results of topology in various fields, such as function analysis, lie group theory, category theory, etc.

We hope to encourage scientists to publish their experimental and theoretical results in as much detail as possible. There are no restrictions on the maximum length of the papers. A comprehensive account of the research must be provided so that the results can be reproduced. Electronic files or software that provide the full details of the calculations, proof, and experimental procedures can be uploaded as supplementary material if they cannot be published in the main article.

Scope

The main subject areas include the interactions between general topology and other mathematical disciplines, such as:

• Algebraic topology;
• Differential topology;
• Geometric topology & Low dimensional topology;
• Knot theory and braid groups;
• Topological, metric spaces, neighborhoods and open sets;
• Fuzzy topology;
• Measure theory;
• Manifolds, smooth structures, diffeomorphisms, intrinsic geometry and Ricci flow;
• Diffeomorphism and Schönflies theorem;
• Complexes;
• Homotopy groups, homology and cohomology;
• Topological combinatorics;
• Category topology, topoi and higher category structures;
• Topological dynamics;
• Spectral theory and topology;
• Character varieties and moduli spaces;
• Topology of Lie groups and transformation groups

It also covers interdisciplinary applications of topology in other disciplines, including but not limited to:

• Physics: Topological phases of matter and quantum information science;
• Biology: Mathematical biology and systems biology;
• Chemistry: Chemical graph theory and topological indices of molecular structures;
• Materials science: Topological materials and topological phase transitions;
• Computer science: Topological data analysis, artificial intelligence and machine learning;
• Complex networks: Dynamical systems and network science;
• Information theory: Topological and geometric approaches to information theory;
• Engineering and robotics: Topological robotics and configuration space methods;
• Geographic science: Topological data analysis in geographic information systems (GIS);
• Finance, economics, social sciences and other disciplines: Topological data analysis and network topology in economic/social systems.

MDPI Publication Ethics Statement

MDPI is a member of the Committee on Publication Ethics (COPE). MDPI takes the responsibility to enforce a rigorous peer-review together with strict ethical policies and standards to ensure to add high quality scientific works to the field of scholarly publication. Unfortunately, cases of plagiarism, data falsification, inappropriate authorship credit, and the like, do arise. MDPI takes such publishing ethics issues very seriously and our editors are trained to proceed in such cases with a zero tolerance policy. To verify the originality of content submitted to our journals, we use iThenticate to check submissions against previous publications.
