Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues,

Symmetry is a notion that drives nature from creation and is used in all theories describing the universe from relativity to quantum. Naturally, symmetry plays a central role in the mathematical theories supporting physics and chemistry. In particular, mirror symmetry became a bridge between mathematics and theoretical physics. Symmetry has spread to many other fields of mathematical research and phenomena of symmetry are found and considered significant in geometry, combinatorics, complex analysis, algebra, mathematical physics, biomathematics, neural computation and complex systems, and more. In this volume, we shall present a variety of new studies related to symmetry in mathematics.

Brain–computer interfaces are an emerging field of medical technology that enable users to control external digital devices via brain activity. Steady-state evoked potential is a type of electroencephalogram signal that is widely used for brain–computer interface applications. Collecting electroencephalogram data is an effort-intensive task that requires technical expertise, specialised equipment, and ethical considerations. This work proposes a class-conditioned Wasserstein generative adversarial network with a gradient penalty loss for electroencephalogram data generation. Electroencephalogram data were recorded via a g.tec HiAmp using 5, 6, 7.5, and 10 Hz flashing video stimuli. The resulting model replicates the key steady-state-evoked potential features after training for 100 epochs with 25 batches of 4 s steady-state-evoked potential data. This creates a model that mimics brain activity, producing a type of symmetry between the brain’s visual reaction to frequency-based stimuli as measured by electroencephalogram and the model output.

Abstract
In this paper, some sufficient conditions of almost Yamabe solitons are established, such that the solitons are Yamabe metrics, by which we mean metrics of constant scalar curvature. This is achieved by imposing fewer topological constraints. The properties of the conformal vector fields [...] Read more.
In this paper, some sufficient conditions of almost Yamabe solitons are established, such that the solitons are Yamabe metrics, by which we mean metrics of constant scalar curvature. This is achieved by imposing fewer topological constraints. The properties of the conformal vector fields are exploited for the purpose of establishing various necessary criteria on the soliton vector fields of gradient almost Yamabe solitons so as to obtain Yamabe metrics.

Thermal management is a crucial task in the present era of miniatures and other gadgets of compact heat density. This communication presents the momentum and thermal transportation of nanofluid flow over a sheet that stretches exponentially. The fluid moves through a porous matrix in the presence of a magnetic field that is perpendicular to the flow direction. To achieve the main objective of efficient thermal transportation with increased thermal conductivity, the possible settling of nano entities is avoided with the bioconvection of microorganisms. Furthermore, thermal radiation, heat source dissipation, and activation energy are also considered. The formulation in the form of a partial differential equation is transmuted into an ordinary differential form with the implementation of appropriate similarity variables. Numerical treatment involving Runge–Kutta along with the shooting technique method was chosen to resolve the boundary values problem. To elucidate the physical insights of the problem, computational code was run for suitable ranges of the involved parameters. The fluid temperature directly rose with the buoyancy ratio parameter, Rayleigh number, Brownian motion parameter, and thermophoresis parameter. Thus, thermal transportation enhances with the inclusion of nano entities and the bioconvection of microorganisms. The findings are useful for heat exchangers working in various technological processors. The validation of the obtained results is also assured through comparison with the existing result. The satisfactory concurrence was also observed while comparing the present symmetrical results with the existing literature. Full article

In this paper, we prove new versions of Stone Duality. The main version is the following: the category of Kolmogorov locally small spaces and bounded continuous mappings is equivalent to the category of spectral spaces with decent lumps and with bornologies in the lattices of (quasi-) compact open sets as objects and spectral mappings respecting those decent lumps and satisfying a boundedness condition as morphisms. Furthermore, it is dually equivalent to the category of bounded distributive lattices with bornologies and with decent lumps of prime filters as objects and homomorphisms of bounded lattices respecting those decent lumps and satisfying a domination condition as morphisms. This helps to understand Kolmogorov locally small spaces and morphisms between them. We comment also on spectralifications of topological spaces. Full article

Symmetry between mathematical constructions is a very desired phenomena in mathematics in general, and in algebraic geometry in particular. For line arrangements, symmetry between topological characterizations and the combinatorics of the arrangement has often been studied, and the first counterexample where symmetry breaks is in dimension 13. In the first part of this paper, we shall prove that two arrangements of smooth compact manifolds of any dimension that are connected through smooth functions are homeomorphic. In the second part, we prove this in the affine case in dimension 4. Full article
