Topological Complexities of Surfaces

Abstract

The sphere S2S^2 and the torus T2T^2 are the only closed connected surfaces for which higher topological complexities are known (for each n{2,3,...}Nn\in\{2,3,...\}\subset\mathbb{N}, TCn(S2)=n\mathrm{TC}_n(S^2)=n and TCn(T2)=2n2\mathrm{TC}_n(T^2)=2n-2). This text aims to find topological complexities for most other closed connected surfaces. For all but S2S^2, T2T^2, the projective plane (RP2\mathbb{R}\mathbb{P}^2) and the Klein bottle the nn-th topological complexity is 2n2n.

There is a mistake in the calculations. I'd like to withdraw this paper. Thank you!
