Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
In the era of modern mathematics and cosmology, the concepts of principles, symmetry, tensors, and models form the backbone of modern mathematics, cosmology, and astrophysics, shaping our understanding of the universe through both theoretical frameworks and observational applications. In this Special Issue, we explore the pivotal role of symmetry, tensors, and models in advancing mathematics itself and cosmological and astrophysical applications. The scope is threefold:
1. Investigate the application of established mathematical symmetries, tensors, and advanced tensors in new and contemporary models of cosmology and astrophysics, including advanced manifold–metric pairs.
2. Develop innovative models in cosmology and astrophysics, leveraging standard symmetries, tensors, advanced tensors, fractional calculus frameworks, and advanced manifold–metric pairs, with a potential goal of making some unifications of existing models.
3. Construct novel or modified symmetry principles and tensor structures (e.g., generalized tensors, broken symmetries, non-standard symmetry, fractional calculus frameworks, or advanced manifold–metric pairs) and explore their potential applications in mathematical, cosmological and astrophysical contexts.

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 250 words) can be sent to the Editorial Office for assessment.
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.
