Different types of soft ideals in soft topological spaces are used to introduce new weak classes of soft open sets. Namely, soft open sets modulo soft nowhere dense sets and soft open sets modulo soft sets of the first category. The basic properties and representations of these classes are established. The class of soft open sets modulo the soft nowhere dense sets forms a soft algebra. Elements in this soft algebra are primarily the soft sets whose soft boundaries are soft nowhere dense sets. The class of soft open sets modulo soft sets of the first category, known as soft sets of the Baire property, is a soft \u03c3-algebra. In this work, we mainly focus on the soft \u03c3-algebra of soft sets with the Baire property. We show that soft sets with the Baire property can be represented in terms of various natural classes of soft sets in soft topological spaces. In addition, we see that the soft \u03c3-algebra of soft sets with the Baire property includes the soft Borel \u03c3-algebra. We further show that soft sets with the Baire property in a certain soft topology are equal to soft Borel sets in the cluster soft topology formed by the original one.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/axioms12111015","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2023,10,30]],"date-time":"2023-10-30T09:27:28Z","timestamp":1698658048000},"page":"1015","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":11,"title":["Congruence Representations via Soft Ideals in Soft Topological Spaces"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"12","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-0740-3331","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Zanyar A.","family":"Ameen","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Mathematics, College of Science, University of Duhok, Duhok 42001, Iraq"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-8097-9057","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Mesfer H.","family":"Alqahtani","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Mathematics, University College of Umluj, University of Tabuk, Tabuk 48322, Saudi Arabia"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2023,10,28]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"19","DOI":"10.1016\/S0898-1221(99)00056-5","article-title":"Soft set theory\u2014First results","volume":"37","author":"Molodtsov","year":"1999","journal-title":"Comput.
