Declining or Waning

While Forum of Mathematics Sigma continually evolves, some themes have shown a decline in prominence over the recent publication years. These waning scopes reflect shifts in research interests and emerging priorities within the mathematical community.
  1. Classical Geometry:
    There has been a noticeable decline in papers focused solely on classical geometry concepts, such as Euclidean and projective geometries, as the journal shifts towards more abstract and higher-dimensional studies.
  2. Elementary Number Theory:
    Research in basic number theory, particularly topics that do not intersect with algebraic or geometric approaches, appears to have decreased, with fewer papers focusing on elementary methods.
  3. Basic Combinatorial Algorithms:
    Although combinatorics remains a strong area, the focus on basic algorithmic approaches has waned, with more emphasis now on combinatorial structures that have deeper algebraic and geometric implications.
