Topological Complexity of the Klein bottle

Algebraic Topology 2019-08-27 v3

Abstract

We show that the (normalized) topological complexity of the Klein bottle is 44. We also show that, for any g2g\geq 2, TC(Ng)=4TC(N_g)=4. This completes the recent work by Dranishnikov on the topological complexity of non-orientable surfaces.
