In this paper, we study three relative LS categories of a map and study some of their properties. Then we introduce the `higher topological complexity' and `weak higher topological complexity' of a map. Each of them are homotopy invariants.…
J. Milnor introduced a specific class of codimension-$1$ submanifolds in the product of projective spaces, known as Milnor manifolds. This paper establishes precise bounds on the higher topological complexity of these manifolds and provides…
We study the lower bounds and upper bounds for LS-category and equivariant LS-category. In particular we compute both invariants for torus manifolds. There are some examples to show the sharpness of conditions in the theorems. Moreover the…
We introduce a notion of discrete topological complexity in the setting of simplicial complexes, using only the combinatorial structure of the complex by means of the concept of contiguous simplicial maps. We study the links of this new…
In this paper, we introduce relative LS category of a map and study some of its properties. Then we introduce `higher topological complexity' of a map, a homotopy invariant. We give a cohomological lower bound and compare it with previously…
We define and study an equivariant version of Farber's topological complexity for spaces with a given compact group action. This is a special case of the equivariant sectional category of an equivariant map, also defined in this paper. The…
The aim of this article is to review different generalizations of the the notion of topological complexity to the equivariant setting. In particular, we review the relation (or non-relation) between these notions and the topological…
In this paper, we compute the LS-category and equivariant LS-category of a small cover and its real moment angle manifold. We calculate a tight lower bound for the topological complexity of many small covers over a product of simplices.…
We give a survey on higher invariants in noncommutative geometry and their applications to differential geometry and topology.
In arXiv:1711.10132 a new approximating invariant ${\mathsf{TC}}^{\mathcal{D}}$ for topological complexity was introduced called $\mathcal{D}$-topological complexity. In this paper, we explore more fully the properties of…
We introduce and study the proper topological complexity of a given configuration space, a version of the classical invariant for which we require that the algorithm controlling the motion is able to avoid any possible choice of ``unsafe''…
We prove an upper bound of higher topological complexity $TC_n(X)$ using higher $\mathcal{D}$-topological complexity $TC_n^{\mathcal{D}}(X)$ of a space $X$. An intermediate invariant $\widetilde{TC}_n(X)$ is used in the proof. We interpret…
We present a new approach to equivariant version of the topological complexity, called a symmetric topological complexity. It seems that the presented approach is more adequate for the analysis of an impact of symmetry on the the motion…
By analogy with the invariant Q-category defined by Scheerer, Stanley and Tanr\'e, we introduce the notions of Q-sectional category and Q-topological complexity. We establish several properties of these invariants. We also obtain a formula…
We define a simpler notion of symmetric topological complexity more ad hoc to the motion planning problem which was the original motivation for the definition of topological complexity. This is a homotopy invariant that we call…
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…
This paper presents a combinatorial analog of topological complexity for finite spaces. We demonstrate that this coincides with the genuine topological complexity of the original finite space, and constitutes an upper bound for the…
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.…
This paper explores topological complexity in the finite equivariant setting. We first define and study an equivariant version of Tanaka's combinatorial complexity for finite topological spaces. We explore the relationships between this…
We present the theory of higher order invariants and higher order automorphic forms in the simplest case, that of a compact quotient. In this case many things simplify and we are thus able to prove a more precise structure theorem than in…
