The moduli space $M$ of semi-stable rank 2 bundles with trivial determinant over a complex curve carries involutions naturally associated to 2-torsion points on the Jacobian of the curve. For every lift of a 2-torsion point to a 4-torsion…

We compute the Lusternik-Schnirelmann category (LS-cat) and the higher topological complexity ($TC_s$, $s\geq2$) of the "no-$k$-equal" configuration space Conf$_k(\mathbb{R},n)$. This yields (with $k=3$) the LS-cat and the higher…
