TOPOLOGY AND ITS APPLICATIONS

Topology and its Applications is primarily concerned with publishing original research papers of moderate length. However, a limited number of carefully selected survey or expository papers are also included. The mathematical focus of the journal is that suggested by the title: Research in Topology. It is felt that it is inadvisable to attempt a definitive description of topology as understood for this journal. Certainly the subject includes the algebraic, general, geometric, and set-theoretic facets of topology as well as areas of interactions between topology and other mathematical disciplines, e.g. topological algebra, topological dynamics, functional analysis, category theory. Since the roles of various aspects of topology continue to change, the non-specific delineation of topics serves to reflect the current state of research in topology.

拓扑学及其应用主要涉及发表篇幅适中的原始研究论文。然而，也包括少数精心挑选的调查或说明性论文。该杂志的数学重点是建议的标题:研究拓扑学。有人认为，试图为本期刊所理解的拓扑学的明确描述是不可取的。当然，这门课程包括拓扑的代数、一般、几何和集论方面，以及拓扑与其他数学学科(如拓扑代数、拓扑动力学、泛函分析、范畴理论)之间的交互领域。由于拓扑学各方面的作用不断发生变化，非特定的主题描述反映了拓扑学研究的现状。
