Declining or Waning
- Classical Knot Theory:
While knot theory remains a fundamental aspect of topology, recent publications suggest a waning focus on classical results and basic knot invariants, possibly due to the rise of more complex and computational approaches. - Basic Manifold Classification:
There appears to be a decreasing emphasis on traditional classifications of manifolds, as researchers gravitate towards more intricate structures and invariants that offer deeper insights into manifold topology. - Elementary Topological Constructs:
The study of simpler topological constructs and their properties seems to be less prominent, with researchers favoring advanced techniques and applications in their investigations. - Local Properties of Spaces:
Research focused on local topological properties, such as local connectedness or local compactness, has diminished in favor of global or asymptotic properties that yield more comprehensive results.
