Abstract
We prove the equality for distributional topological complexity of torsion free hyperbolic and of torsion free nilpotent groups. For the distributional topological complexity of lens spaces we prove the inequality and for the distributional LS-category the inequality which turns into equality for prime and . We use these inequalities to bring counter-examples to the product formula for and .
