The goal of this paper is to establish a topological version of the notion of an Eilenberg-Mac Lane space. If $X$ is a pointed topological space, $\pi_1(X)$ has a natural topology coming from the compact-open topology on the space of maps…

We prove that the topological complexity $\mathrm{TC}(\pi)$ equals $\mathrm{cd}(\pi\times\pi)$ for certain toral relatively hyperbolic groups $\pi$.

We develop the theory of probabilistic variants of the one-category and diagonal topological complexity, which bound the classical LS-category and topological complexity from below. Unlike any other classical or probabilistic invariants,…

The well-known theorem of Eilenberg and Ganea expresses the Lusternik - Schnirelmann category of an aspherical space as the cohomological dimension of its fundamental group. In this paper we study a similar problem of determining…

We study the complexity of the isomorphism relation for various classes of closed subgroups of the group of permutations of the natural numbers. We use the setting of Borel reducibility between equivalence relations on Polish spaces. For…

We survey results on the topological complexity of classical configuration spaces of distinct ordered points in orientable surfaces and related spaces, including certain orbit configuration spaces and Eilenberg-Mac Lane spaces associated to…

We compute the topological complexity of Eilenberg-Mac Lane spaces associated to the group of automorphisms of a finitely generated free group which act by conjugation on a given basis, and to certain subgroups.

We construct K(\pi, 1)'s for Artin groups of type C_n and D_n.

Let $W\subset GL(V)$ be a complex reflection group, and ${\mathscr A}(W)$ the set of the mirrors of the complex reflections in $W$. It is known that the complement $X({\mathscr A}(W))$ of the reflection arrangement ${\mathscr A}(W)$ is a…

We define and develop a homotopy invariant notion for the topological complexity of a map $f:X \to Y$, denoted TC($f$), that interacts with TC($X$) and TC($Y$) in the same way cat($f$) interacts with cat($X$) and cat($Y$). Furthermore,…

In this article we study the higher topological complexity ${\sf TC}_r(X)$ in the case when $X$ is an aspherical space, $X=K(\pi, 1)$ and $r\ge 2$. We give a characterisation of ${\sf TC}_r(K(\pi, 1))$ in terms of classifying spaces for…

We define a new version of Topological Complexity (TC) of a space, denoted as $\text{dTC}$, which, we think, fits better for motion planning for some autonomous systems. Like Topological complexity, \text{dTC} is also a homotopy invariant.…

We are familiar with properties and structure of topological spaces. One of the powerful tools, which help us to figure out the structure of topological spaces is (Leray- Serre) spectral sequence. Although Eilenberg-Maclane space plays…

For a pair of spaces $X$ and $Y$ such that $Y \subseteq X$, we define the relative topological complexity of the pair $(X,Y)$ as a new variant of relative topological complexity. Intuitively, this corresponds to counting the smallest number…

Let $\pi$ be a simple supercuspidal representation of the split even special orthogonal group. We compute the Rankin-Selberg $\gamma$-factors for rank 1-twists of $\pi$ by quadratic tamely ramified characters of $F^*$. We then use our…

The topological fundamental group $\pi_{1}^{top}$ is a homotopy invariant finer than the usual fundamental group. It assigns to each space a quasitopological group and is discrete on spaces which admit universal covers. For an arbitrary…

The purpose of this paper is to put together a large amount of results on the $K(\pi,1)$ conjecture for Artin groups, and to make them accessible to non-experts. Firstly, this is a survey, containing basic definitions, the main results,…

We develop a support theory for elementary supergroup schemes, over a field of positive characteristic $p\ge 3$, starting with a definition of a $\pi$-point generalising cyclic shifted subgroups of Carlson for elementary abelian groups and…

This paper is devoted to the study of a natural group topology on the fundamental group which remembers local properties of spaces forgotten by covering space theory and weak homotopy type. It is known that viewing the fundamental group as…

In this note we study topological invariants of the spaces of homomorphisms Hom(\pi,G), where \pi\ is a finitely generated abelian group and G is a compact Lie group arising as an arbitrary finite product of the classical groups SU(r), U(q)…
