Higher topological complexity and its symmetrization

Abstract: Abstract. We develop the properties of the n-th sequential topological complexity TC n , a homotopy invariant introduced by the third author as an extension of Farber's topological model for studying the complexity of motion planning algorithms in robotics. We exhibit close connections of TC n (X) to the Lusternik-Schnirelmann category of cartesian powers of X, to the cup-length of the diagonal embedding X → X n , and to the ratio between homotopy dimension and connectivity of X. We fully compute the numerical… Show more

“…Many of these difficulties are overcome if one uses a modified definition due to Basabe, González, Rudyak and Tamaki [1]. Namely, consider π : P X → X × X as a Z/2-equivariant map, and let TC Σ (X) denote the minimal integer k such that X × X admits a cover U 0 , U 1 , .…”
