We show that the parametrised topological complexity of Cohen, Farber and Weinberger gives an invariant of group epimorphisms. We extend various bounds for the topological complexity of groups to obtain bounds for the parametrised…
In this paper, we define and study an equivariant analogue of Cohen, Farber and Weinberger's parametrized topological complexity. We show that several results in the non-equivariant case can be extended to the equivariant case. For example,…
We establish a stable homotopy-theoretic version of a recent result of Farber and Weinberger on the fibrewise topological complexity of sphere bundles and prove, by closely parallel methods, a similar result for real, complex and…

We introduce the concept of parametrized homotopic distance, extending the classical notion of homotopic distance to the fibrewise setting. We establish its correspondence with the fibrewise sectional category of a specific fibrewise…

We introduce a version of Farber's topological complexity suitable for investigating mechanical systems whose configuration spaces exhibit symmetries. Our invariant has vastly different properties to the previous approaches of Colman-Grant,…
Topological complexity was first introduced in 2003 by Michael Farber as a homotopy invariant for a connected topological space X, denoted by TC(X). Although the invariant is defined in terms of elementary homotopy theory using well-known…
Topological complexity $\TC{B}$ of a space $B$ is introduced by M. Farber to measure how much complex the space is, which is first considered on a configuration space of a motion planning of a robot arm. We also consider a stronger version…
Parametrized motion planning algorithms have high degree of flexibility and universality, they can work under a variety of external conditions, which are viewed as parameters and form part of the input of the algorithm. In this paper we…
We introduce and study the sequential analogue of Grant's parametrized topological complexity of group epimorphisms, which generalizes the sequential topological complexity of groups. We derive bounds for sequential parametrized topological…
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…
Topological complexity for spaces was introduced by M. Farber as a minimal number of continuity domains for motion planning algorithms. It turns out that this notion can be extended to the case of not necessarily commutative C*-algebras.…
Dwyer, Weiss, and Williams have recently defined the notions of parametrized topological Euler characteristic and parametrized topological Reidemeister torsion which are invariants of bundles of compact topological manifolds. We show that…
We survey two decades of work on the (sequential) topological complexity of configuration spaces of graphs (ordered and unordered), aiming to give an account that is unifying, elementary, and self-contained. We discuss the traditional…
We introduce in this paper a field theory on symplectic manifolds that are fibered over a real surface with interior marked points and cylindrical ends. We assign to each such object a morphism between certain tensor products of quantum and…
We describe a point-set category of parametrized orthogonal spectra, a model structure on this category, and a separate, more geometric class of cofibrant-and-fibrant objects. The structures we describe are "convenient" in that they are…
