An algorithm to determine LS-category and Ginsburg invariant of any rationally elliptic space

Algebraic Topology 2025-07-04 v1

Abstract

Let XX be a rationally elliptic space. Utilizing the Gorenstein algebra structure of XX, we present three algorithms that together induce a generating class of Ext(ΛV,d)N(Q,(ΛV,d))Ext^N_{(\Lambda V,d)}(\mathbb{Q},(\Lambda V,d)) with NN being the formal dimension of XX. From these algorithms, we derive an algorithm to compute the rational Lusternik-Schnirelmann category cat0(X)cat_0(X). Furthermore, by applying a spectral sequence argument based on the {\it Eilenberg-Moore spectral sequence}, we compute the rational Ginsburg invariant l0(X)l_0(X) introduced by M. Ginsburg in \cite{Gin}.
