Topological complexity of motion planning in projective product spaces

Abstract: We study Farber's topological complexity (TC) of Davis' projective product spaces (PPS's). We show that, in many non-trivial instances, the TC of PPS's coming from at least two sphere factors is (much) lower than the dimension of the manifold. This is in high contrast with the known situation for (usual) real projective spaces for which, in fact, the Euclidean immersion dimension and TC are two facets of the same problem. Low TC-values have been observed for infinite families of non-simply connected spaces onl… Show more

“…Such a guess is formalized in [9, Theorem 3.8]-even if no sphere splits off P (n 1 ,n 2 ,...,nr) as a cartesian factor. In this section we adapt the viewpoint in [9] in order to obtain similar estimates for the category and the topological complexity of complex-projective and lens product spaces.…”

“…This space can be considered as a generalization of real projective space but is not in general product of projective spaces. The topological complexity and some bounds of these spaces have been initiated in [17]. The improvement of this study to finalize the estimating problem about the topological complexity and the Lusternik-Schnirelmann category of projective product spaces has been included in [16].…”
