Milnor manifolds are a class of certain codimension-$1$ submanifolds of the product of projective spaces. In this paper, we study the LS-category and topological complexity of these manifolds. We determine the exact value of the LS-category…

In this paper we introduce the concepts of higher equivariant and invariant topological complexity; and study their properties. Then we compare them with equivariant LS-category. We give lower and upper bounds for these new invariants. We…

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…

In his 1957 paper, John Milnor introduced link invariants which measure the homotopy class of the longitudes of a link relative to the lower central series of the link group. Consequently, these invariants determine the lower central series…

In his 1957 paper, John Milnor introduced a collection of invariants for links in $S^3$ detecting higher-order linking phenomena by studying lower central quotients of link groups and comparing them to those of the unlink. These invariants,…

We investigate the notion of complexity for finitely presented groups and the related notion of complexity for three-dimensional manifolds. We give two-sided estimates on the complexity of all the Milnor groups (the finite groups with free…

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 define notions of higher order spectra of a complex quasi-projective manifold with an action of a finite group $G$ and with a $G$-equivariant automorphism of finite order, some of their refinements and give Macdonald type equations for…

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…

J.H.C. Whitehead introduced the concept of crossed modules in the early 20th century. These crossed modules are crucial for algebraic models of 2-type homotopy, which involve connected spaces with no higher than second-degree homotopy…

We study the homeomorphism types of manifolds h-cobordant to a fixed one. Our investigation is partly motivated by the notion of special manifolds introduced by Milnor in his study of lens spaces. In particular we revisit and clarify some…

In this paper, we study upper bounds for the topological complexity of the total spaces of some classes of fibre bundles. We calculate a tight upper bound for the topological complexity of an $n$-dimensional Klein bottle. We also compute…

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…

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 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…

In this article, we investigate the higher topological complexity of oriented Seifert fibered manifolds that are Eilenberg--MacLane spaces $K(G,1)$ with infinite fundamental group $G$. We first refine the cohomological lower bounds for…

A real Milnor manifold is the non-singular hypersurface of degree $(1,1)$ in the product of two real projective spaces. These manifolds were introduced by Milnor to give generators for the unoriented cobordism algebra, and they admit free…

Let $\mathcal{N}_*$ be the unoriented cobordism algebra, let $G=(\Z_2)^n$ and let $Z_*(G)$ denote the equivariant cobordism algebra of $G$-manifolds with finite stationary point sets. Let $\epsilon_* :Z_*(G) \to \mathcal{N}_*$ be the…

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.

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…
