On topological complexity of Eilenberg-MacLane spaces

Algebraic Topology 2014-08-05 v2

Abstract

We note that, for any natural kk and every natural ll between kk and 2k2k, there exists a group π\pi with \catK(π,1)=k\cat K(\pi,1)=k and \TC(K(π,1))=l\TC(K(\pi,1))=l. Because of this, we can set up a problem of searching of purely group-theoretical description of \TC(K(π,1))\TC(K(\pi,1)) as an invariant of π\pi.
