We prove Farber's conjecture on the stable topological complexity of configuration spaces of graphs. The conjecture follows from a general lower bound derived from recent insights into the topological complexity of aspherical spaces. Our…

We study numerical invariants $d\TC(\Gamma)$ and $d\cat(\Gamma)$ of groups recently introduced in \cite{DJ} and independently in \cite{KW}. We compute $d\TC$ for finite cyclic groups $\mathbb Z_p$ with prime $p$ as well as for nonorientable…

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

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…

We develop the theory of the intertwining distributional versions of the LS-category and the sequential topological complexities of a space $X$, denoted by $\mathsf{icat}(X)$ and $\mathsf{iTC}_m(X)$, respectively. We prove that they satisfy…

A cohomology class u of a topological space X is atoroidal if its pullback to the torus vanishes for every map from a torus to X. Furthermore, X is atoroidally symplectic if there is an atoroidal cohomology class $u\in H^2(X;F)$ such that…

In this paper, we provide sufficient conditions for a space $X$ to satisfy the Ganea conjecture for topological complexity. To achieve this, we employ two auxiliary invariants: weak topological complexity in the sense of Berstein-Hilton,…

The geodesic complexity of a Riemannian manifold is a numerical isometry invariant that is determined by the structure of its cut loci. In this article we study decompositions of cut loci over whose components the tangent cut loci fiber in…

The problem of interpreting a set of ${\cal W}$-algebra constraints constructed in terms of an arbitrarily twisted scalar field as the recursion relations of a topological theory is addressed. In this picture, the conventional models of…

We establish upper bounds for the complexity of Seifert fibered manifolds with nonempty boundary. In particular, we obtain potentially sharp bounds on the complexity of torus knot complements.

The status of topology on the lattice is reviewed. Recent results show that the topological susceptibility chi can be unambigously determined. Different methods, if properly implemented, give results consistent with each other. For SU(3)…
