We show that Josephson junctions made of multiband semiconductors with strong spin-orbit coupling carry a critical supercurrent Ic that contains information about the nontrivial topology of the system. In particular, we find that the emergence and annihilation of Majorana bound states in the junction is reflected in strong even-odd effects in Ic at small junction transparency. This effect allow...

Following the introduction of fuzzy sets in 1965, a notion of fuzzy topological group was proposed by Foster in 1979: essentially he took a group and furnished it with a fuzzy topological structure. An equivalent notion of fuzzy topological group was introduced by Ma and Yu in 1984 by replacing points by fuzzy points. Recently two of the coauthors have introduced the notion of the topology indu...

In this paper, we first present a new type of the concept of open sets by expressing some properties of arbitrary mappings on a power set. With the generalization of the closure spaces in categorical topology, we introduce the generalized topological spaces and the concept of generalized continuity and become familiar with weak and strong structures for generalized topological spaces. Then, int...

let g = (v,e) be a locally finite graph, i.e. a graph in which every vertex has finitely many adjacent vertices. in this paper, we associate a topology to g, called graphic topology of g and we show that it is an alexandroff topology, i.e. a topology in which intersec- tion of every family of open sets is open. then we investigate some properties of this topology. our motivation is to give an e...

This paper introduces a new approach to topology, based on category theory and universal algebra, and called categorically-algebraic (catalg) topology. It incorporates the most important settings of lattice-valued topology, including poslat topology of S.~E.~Rodabaugh, $(L,M)$-fuzzy topology of T.~Kubiak and A.~v{S}ostak, and $M$-fuzzy topology on $L$-fuzzy sets of C.~Guido. Moreover, its respe...

Employing the notions of the strong $L$-topology introduced by Zhangand the $L$-frame introduced by Yao  and the concept of $L$-enrichedtopological system defined in the present paper, we constructadjunctions among the categories {bf St$L$-Top} of strong$L$-topological spaces, {bf S$L$-Loc} of strict $L$-locales and{bf $L$-EnTopSys} of $L$-enriched topological systems. All of theseconcepts are ...
