Abstract

We define and develop a homotopy invariant notion for the sequential topological complexity of a map f:XY,f:X\to Y, denoted TCr(f)TC_{r}(f), that interacts with TCr(X)TC_{r}(X) and TCr(Y)TC_{r}(Y) in the same way Jamie Scott's topological complexity map TC(f)TC(f) interacts with TC(X)TC(X) and TC(Y).TC(Y). Furthermore, we apply TCr(f)TC_{r}(f) to studying group homomorphisms ϕ:ΓΛ.\phi: \Gamma\to \Lambda. In addition, we prove that the sequential topological complexity of any nonzero homomorphism of a torsion group cannot be finite. Also, we give the characterisation of cohomological dimension of group homomorphisms.
