Topological complexity sequences of groups

Algebraic Topology 2026-05-07 v2

Abstract

We define the topological complexity sequence of a group as the sequence of topological complexities of its Milnor constructions. This sequence may be regarded as an intrinsic refinement of the topological complexity of a group and, unlike topological complexity itself, is meaningful for groups of infinite cohomological dimension. We show that the topological complexity sequence of every group of infinite cohomological dimension is weakly increasing and unbounded. We then estimate its growth and determine its asymptotic behavior for a finite group of even order.
