We are pleased to invite you to contribute to a Special Issue of Axioms titled "Trends in Differential Geometry and Algebraic Topology." This issue aims to showcase cutting-edge research and novel perspectives at the intersection of these two fundamental areas of mathematics.

As a recognized expert in the field, your contribution would be invaluable in shaping the discourse on recent developments and future directions. We welcome original research articles, comprehensive reviews, and insightful perspectives that explore the following:

  • Advances in differential geometric structures and their applications, including Riemannian and symplectic geometry;
  • Higher category theory, homotopy theory, homology theory, algebraic K-theory;
  • Interplay between differential geometry and algebraic topology;
  • Index theory, noncommutative geometry;
  • Emerging computational methods in geometric and topological analysis;

Abstract
In this paper, we explore certain properties related to connectedness and introduce the definition of irresolute paths. Subsequently, we define the concepts of semi-path connectedness, locally semi-path connectedness, and semi-locally s-simply connected spaces. Additionally, we introduce the concept of irresolute homotopy and reconstruct [...] Read more.
In this paper, we explore certain properties related to connectedness and introduce the definition of irresolute paths. Subsequently, we define the concepts of semi-path connectedness, locally semi-path connectedness, and semi-locally s-simply connected spaces. Additionally, we introduce the concept of irresolute homotopy and reconstruct the fundamental group based on this framework. Furthermore, we prove that the structure of an irresolute topological group with a universal irresolute covering can be lifted to its irresolute covering space. Full article

We study the transfer of injectivity to filtered products of copies of an injective module. This leads to the introduction of a generalized Noetherian condition, the so-called (,M)-Noetherian rings. We prove that M is F-injective for [...] Read more.
We study the transfer of injectivity to filtered products of copies of an injective module. This leads to the introduction of a generalized Noetherian condition, the so-called (,M)-Noetherian rings. We prove that M is F-injective for every filter F with cpl(F) if and only if R is (,M)-Noetherian. We also examine the behavior of filtered products of τ-injective torsion-free modules, establishing preservation results under suitable conditions. Full article

Abstract
It is a famous hypothesis that orbifold D-brane charges in string theory can be classified in twisted equivariant K-theory. Recently, it is believed that the hypothesis has a non-trivial lift to M-branes classified in twisted real equivariant 4-Cohomotopy. Quasi-elliptic cohomology, which is defined [...] Read more.
It is a famous hypothesis that orbifold D-brane charges in string theory can be classified in twisted equivariant K-theory. Recently, it is believed that the hypothesis has a non-trivial lift to M-branes classified in twisted real equivariant 4-Cohomotopy. Quasi-elliptic cohomology, which is defined as an equivariant cohomology of a cyclification of orbifolds, potentially interpolates the two statements, by approximating equivariant 4-Cohomotopy classified by 4-sphere orbifolds. In this paper we compute Real and complex quasi-elliptic cohomology theories of 4-spheres under the action by some finite subgroups that are the most interesting isotropy groups where the M5-branes may sit. The computation connects the M-brane charges in the presence of discrete symmetries to Real quasi-elliptic cohomology theories, and those with the symmetry omitted to complex quasi-elliptic cohomology theories.

Superstring compactifications have been vigorously studied for over four decades, and have flourished, involving an active iterative feedback between physics and (complex) algebraic geometry. This led to an unprecedented wealth of constructions, virtually all of which are “purely” algebraic. Recent developments however indicate many more possibilities to be afforded by including certain generalizations that, at first glance at least, are not algebraic—yet fit remarkably well within an overall mirror-symmetric framework and are surprisingly amenable to standard computational analysis upon certain mild but systematic modifications.

In this paper, we deal with continuous multi-utility representations for closed preorders. We introduce the definition of a net-compact topology, which generalizes the concept of a sequentially compact topology. Indeed, a sequentially compact and first countable topological space is net-compact. First, we show that if every closed preorder on a net-compact Hausdorff topological space has a continuous multi-utility representation, then the topology is normal. Second, we prove that every closed preorder on a normal and net-compact Hausdorff topological space admits a continuous multi-utility representation. Full article

Fundamentally, duality gives two different points of view of looking at the same object. It appears in many subjects in mathematics (geometry, algebra, analysis, PDEs, Geometric Measure Theory, etc.) and in physics. For example, Connections on Fiber Bundles in mathematics, and Gauge Fields in physics are exactly the same. In n-dimensional geometry, a fundamental notion is the “duality” between chains and cochains, or domains of integration and the integrands. In this paper, we extend ideas given in our earlier articles and connect seemingly unrelated areas of F-harmonic maps, f-harmonic maps, and cohomology classes via duality. By studying cohomology classes that are related with p-harmonic morphisms, F-harmonic maps, and f-harmonic maps, we extend several of our previous results on Riemannian submersions and p-harmonic morphisms to F-harmonic maps and f-harmonic maps, which are Riemannian submersions.

In this paper, we give examples that improve the lower bound on the maximum number of halving lines for sets in the plane with 35, 59, 95, and 97 points and, as a consequence, we improve the current best upper bound of the rectilinear crossing number for sets in the plane with 35, 59, 95, and 97 points, provided that a conjecture included in the literature is true. As another consequence, we also improve the lower bound on the maximum number of halving pseudolines for sets in the plane with 35 points. These examples, and the recursive bounds for the maximum number of halving lines for sets with an odd number of points achieved, give a new insight in the study of the rectilinear crossing number problem, one of the most challenging tasks in Discrete Geometry. With respect to this problem, it is conjectured that, for all n multiples of 3, there are 3-symmetric sets of n points for which the rectilinear crossing number is attained. Full article
