Let Y be a smooth compact n-manifold. We studied smooth embeddings and immersions β:MR×Y of compact n-manifolds M such that β(M) avoids some priory chosen closed poset Θ of tangent patterns to the fibers of the obvious projection π:R×YY. Then, for a fixed Y, we introduced an equivalence relation between such β’s; creating a crossover between pseudo-isotopies and bordisms. We called this relation quasitopy. In the presented study of quasitopies, the spaces PdcΘ of real univariate polynomials of degree d with real divisors, whose combinatorial patterns avoid a given closed poset Θ, play the classical role of Grassmanians. We computed the quasitopy classes Qdemb(Y,cΘ) of Θ-constrained embeddings β in terms of homotopy/homology theory of spaces Y and PdcΘ. We proved also that the quasitopies of embeddings stabilize, as d. Full article

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

Nonlinear mixed integro-differential equations (NM-IDEs) of the third kind present a complex challenge during solving initial value problems (IVPs), particularly after converting them from standard forms. In this work, we address the existence and uniqueness of a type of NM-IDEs employing Picard’s method. Additionally, we estimate the solution using the homotopy analysis method (HAM) and analyze the convergence of the approach. To demonstrate the credibility of the theoretical results, various applications are given, and the numerical results are displayed in a group of figures and tables to highlight that solving IVPs by first converting them to NM-IDEs and using the HAM is a computationally efficient approach.

This study investigates the Slepyan–Palmov (SP) model, which describes plane longitudinal waves propagating within a medium comprising a carrier medium and nonlinear oscillators. The primary objective is to analyze the integrability properties of this model. The research entails two key aspects. Firstly, the study explores the group invariant solution by utilizing reductions in symmetry subalgebras based on the optimal system. Secondly, the conservation laws are studied using the homotopy operator, which offers advantages over the conventional multiplier approach, especially when arbitrary functions are absent from both the equation and characteristics. This method proves advantageous in handling complex multipliers and yields significant outcomes. Full article

Topological states of matter can be classified only in terms of global topological invariants. These global topological invariants are encoded in terms of global observable topological phase factors in the state vectors of electrons. In condensed matter, the energy spectrum of the Hamiltonian operator has a band structure, meaning that it is piecewise continuous. The energy in each continuous piece depends on the quasi-momentum which varies in the Brillouin zone. Thus, the Brillouin zone of quasi-momentum variables constitutes the base localization space of the energy eigenstates of electrons. This is a continuous topological parameter space bearing the homotopy of a torus. Since the base localization space has the homotopy of a torus, if we vary the quasi-momentum in a direction, when the edge of the zone is reached, we obtain a closed path. Then, if we lift this loop from the base space to the sections of the sheaf-theoretic fibration induced by the localization of the energy eigenfunctions, we obtain a global topological phase factor which encodes the topological structure of the Brillouin zone. Because it is homotopically equivalent to a torus, the global phase factor turns out to be quantized, taking integer values. The experimental significance of this model stems from the recent discovery that there are observable global topological phase factors in fairly ordinary materials. In this communication, we show that it is the unitary representation theory of the discrete Heisenberg group in terms of commutative modular symplectic variables, giving rise to a joint commutative representation space endowed with an integral and Z2-invariant symplectic form that articulates the specific form of the topological conditions characterizing both the quantum Hall effect and the spin quantum Hall effect under a unified sheaf-theoretic cohomological framework.

In this paper, we investigate the geometrical axioms of Riemannian submersions in the context of the η-Ricci–Yamabe soliton (η-RY soliton) with a potential field. We give the categorization of each fiber of Riemannian submersion as an η-RY soliton, an η-Ricci soliton, and an η-Yamabe soliton. Additionally, we consider the many circumstances under which a target manifold of Riemannian submersion is an η-RY soliton, an η-Ricci soliton, an η-Yamabe soliton, or a quasi-Yamabe soliton. We deduce a Poisson equation on a Riemannian submersion in a specific scenario if the potential vector field ω of the soliton is of gradient type =:grad(γ) and provide some examples of an η-RY soliton, which illustrates our finding. Finally, we explore a number theoretic approach to Riemannian submersion with totally geodesic fibers. Full article

In this article, we investigate anti-invariant Riemannian and Lagrangian submersions onto Riemannian manifolds from the Lorentzian para-Sasakian manifold. We demonstrate that, for these submersions, horizontal distributions are not integrable and their fibers are not totally geodesic. As a result, they are not totally geodesic maps. The harmonicity of such submersions is also examined. We specifically prove that they are not harmonic when the Reeb vector field is horizontal. Finally, we provide an illustration of our findings and mention some number-theoretic applications for the same submersions. Full article

A certain Grothendieck topology assigned to a metric space gives rise to a sheaf cohomology theory which sees the coarse structure of the space. Already constant coefficients produce interesting cohomology groups. In degree 0, they see the number of ends of the space. In this paper, a resolution of the constant sheaf via cochains is developed. It serves to be a valuable tool for computing cohomology. In addition, coarse homotopy invariance of coarse cohomology with constant coefficients is established. This property can be used to compute cohomology of Riemannian manifolds. The Higson corona of a proper metric space is shown to reflect sheaves and sheaf cohomology. Thus, we can use topological tools on compact Hausdorff spaces in our computations. In particular, if the asymptotic dimension of a proper metric space is finite, then higher cohomology groups vanish. We compute a few examples. As it turns out, finite abelian groups are best suited as coefficients on finitely generated groups. Full article

In this paper, we investigate properties concerning some recently introduced finite coarse shape invariants—the k-th finite coarse shape group of a pointed topological space and the k-th relative finite coarse shape group of a pointed topological pair. We define the notion of finite coarse shape group sequence of a pointed topological pair X,X0,x0 as an analogue of homotopy and (coarse) shape group sequences and show that for any pointed topological pair, the corresponding finite coarse shape group sequence is a chain. On the other hand, we construct an example of a pointed pair of metric continua whose finite coarse shape group sequence fails to be exact. Finally, using the aforementioned pair of metric continua together with a pointed dyadic solenoid, we show that finite coarse-shape groups, in general, differ from both shape and coarse-shape groups.

Revealing the time structure of physical or biological objects is usually performed thanks to the tools of signal processing such as the fast Fourier transform, Ramanujan sum signal processing, and many other techniques. For space-time topological objects in physics and biology, we propose a type of algebraic processing based on schemes in which the discrimination of singularities within objects is based on the space-time-spin group SL(2,C). Such topological objects possess an homotopy structure encoded in their fundamental group, and the related SL(2,C) multivariate polynomial character variety contains a plethora of singularities somehow analogous to the frequency spectrum in time structures. Our approach is applied to a model of quantum computing based on an Akbulut cork in exotic R4, to an hyperbolic model of topological quantum computing based on magic states and to microRNAs in genetics. Such diverse topics reveal the manifold of possibilities of using the concept of a scheme spectrum. Full article

Topological spaces can be induced by various algebraic ordering relations such as, linear, partial and the inclusion-ordering of open sets forming chains and chain complexes. In general, the classifications of covering spaces are made by using fundamental groups and lifting. However, the Riesz ordered n-spaces and Urysohn interpretations of real-valued continuous functions as ordered chains provide new perspectives. This paper proposes the formulation of covering spaces of n-space charts of a foliated n-manifold containing linearly ordered chains, where the chains do not form topologically separated components within a covering section. The chained subspaces within covering spaces are subjected to algebraic split–join operations under a bijective function within chain-subspaces to form simply directed chains and twisted chains. The resulting sets of chains form simply directed chain-paths and oriented chain-paths under the homotopy path-products involving the bijective function. It is shown that the resulting embedding of any chain in a leaf of foliated n-manifold is homogeneous and unique. The finite measures of topological subspaces containing homotopies of chain-paths in covering spaces generate multiplicative and cyclic group varieties of different orders depending upon the types of measures. As a distinction, the proposed homotopies of chain-paths in covering spaces and the homogeneous chain embedding in a foliated n-manifold do not consider the formation of circular nerves and the Nachbin topological preordering, thereby avoiding symmetry/asymmetry conditions.

The nonlinear phenomena in numbers are modelled in a wide range of fields such as chemical physics, ocean physics, optical fibres, plasma physics, fluid dynamics, solid-state physics, biological physics and marine engineering. This research article systematically investigates a (2+1)-dimensional generalized Bogoyavlensky–Konopelchenko equation. We achieve a five-dimensional Lie algebra of the equation through Lie group analysis. This, in turn, affords us the opportunity to compute an optimal system of fourteen-dimensional Lie subalgebras related to the underlying equation. As a consequence, the various subalgebras are engaged in performing symmetry reductions of the equation leading to many solvable nonlinear ordinary differential equations. Thus, we secure different types of solitary wave solutions including periodic (Weierstrass and elliptic integral), topological kink and anti-kink, complex, trigonometry and hyperbolic functions. Moreover, we utilize the bifurcation theory of dynamical systems to obtain diverse nontrivial travelling wave solutions consisting of both bounded as well as unbounded solution-types to the equation under consideration. Consequently, we generate solutions that are algebraic, periodic, constant and trigonometric in nature. The various results gained in the study are further analyzed through numerical simulation. Finally, we achieve conservation laws of the equation under study by engaging the standard multiplier method with the inclusion of the homotopy integral formula related to the obtained multipliers. In addition, more conserved currents of the equation are secured through Noether’s theorem. Full article

The solution of the complex neutron diffusion equations system of equations in a spherical nuclear reactor is presented using the homotopy perturbation method (HPM); the HPM is a remarkable approximation method that successfully solves different systems of diffusion equations, and in this work, the system is solved for the first time using the approximation method. The considered system of neutron diffusion equations consists of two consistent subsystems, where the first studies the reactor and the multi-group subsystem of equations in the reactor core, and the other studies the multi-group subsystem of equations in the reactor reflector; each subsystem can deal with any finite number of neutron energy groups. The system is simplified numerically to a one-group bare and reflected reactor, which is compared with the modified differential transform method; a two-group bare reactor, which is compared with the residual power series method; a two-group reflected reactor, which is compared with the classical method; and a four-group bare reactor compared with the residual power series.

Many physical phenomena in fields of studies such as optical fibre, solid-state physics, quantum field theory and so on are represented using nonlinear evolution equations with variable coefficients due to the fact that the majority of nonlinear conditions involve variable coefficients. In consequence, this article presents a complete Lie group analysis of a generalized variable coefficient damped wave equation in quantum field theory with time-dependent coefficients having dual power-law nonlinearities. Lie group classification of two distinct cases of the equation was performed to obtain its kernel algebra. Thereafter, symmetry reductions and invariant solutions of the equation were obtained. We also investigate various soliton solutions and their dynamical wave behaviours. Further, each class of general solutions found is invoked to construct conserved quantities for the equation with damping term via direct technique and homotopy formula. In addition, Noether’s theorem is engaged to furnish more conserved currents of the equation under some classifications. Full article

In general, the braid structures in a topological space can be classified into algebraic forms and geometric forms. This paper investigates the properties of a braid structure involving 2-simplices and a set of directed braid-paths in view of algebraic as well as geometric topology. The 2-simplices are of the cyclically oriented variety embedded within the disjoint topological covering subspaces where the finite braid-paths are twisted as well as directed. It is shown that the generated homotopic simplicial braids form Abelian groups and the twisted braid-paths successfully admit several varieties of twisted discrete path-homotopy equivalence classes, establishing a set of simplicial fibers. Furthermore, a set of discrete-loop fundamental groups are generated in the covering spaces where the appropriate weight assignments generate multiplicative group structures under a variety of homological formal sums. Interestingly, the resulting smallest non-trivial group is not necessarily unique. The proposed variety of homological formal sum exhibits a loop absorption property if the homotopy path-products are non-commutative. It is considered that the topological covering subspaces are simply connected under embeddings with local homeomorphism maintaining generality. Full article
