Trending and Emerging
- Higher Category Theory:
There has been a notable increase in papers focusing on higher category theory, highlighting its relevance in modern mathematical frameworks and its connections to other fields. - Topological Data Analysis:
Research applying topology to data science is on the rise, particularly in the context of persistent homology and its applications in various scientific domains. - Quantum Topology:
Emerging interest in quantum invariants and their geometric implications is evident, with a growing number of studies exploring connections to physics. - Geometric Group Theory:
Research in geometric group theory is expanding, with a focus on understanding groups via their geometric actions and properties. - Symplectic Topology:
The study of symplectic manifolds and their invariants is gaining traction, reflecting a broader interest in the connections between topology and physics. - Noncommutative Geometry:
Research on noncommutative geometry and its applications to topology is becoming more prominent, indicating a shift towards integrating algebraic structures with topological insights.
Declining or Waning
- Classical Knot Theory:
While still relevant, classical knot theory has seen a decline as interest shifts towards more complex invariants and higher-dimensional knots. - Basic Differential Geometry:
Traditional topics in differential geometry, particularly those not intersecting with topology, appear to be less frequently explored in favor of more integrative approaches. - Elementary Group Theory:
Basic results and methods in group theory, especially those lacking topological applications, seem to be receiving less attention in recent publications. - Finite Group Actions:
Research on finite group actions on manifolds has decreased, possibly overshadowed by more intricate studies involving infinite groups and their topological implications. - Homological Algebra without Topological Applications:
There is a noticeable decline in the publication of purely homological algebra papers that do not connect to topological contexts.
