Relative LS categories and higher topological complexities of maps

Algebraic Topology 2021-12-03 v1

Abstract

In this paper, we study three relative LS categories of a map and study some of their properties. Then we introduce the `higher topological complexity' and `weak higher topological complexity' of a map. Each of them are homotopy invariants. We discuss some lower and upper bounds of these in invariants and compare them with previously known `topological complexities' of a map.
