Categorical length, relative L-S category and higher Hopf invariants

Norio Iwase (2009)

Banach Center Publications

In this paper we introduce the categorical length, a homotopy version of Fox categorical sequence, and an extended version of relative L-S category which contains the classical notions of Berstein-Ganea and Fadell-Husseini. We then show that, for a space or a pair, the categorical length for categorical sequences is precisely the L-S category or the relative L-S category in the sense of Fadell-Husseini respectively. Higher Hopf invariants, cup length, module weights, and recent computations by Kono...

Connected covers and Neisendorfer's localization theorem

C. McGibbon, J. Møller (1997)

Fundamenta Mathematicae

Our point of departure is J. Neisendorfer's localization theorem which reveals a subtle connection between some simply connected finite complexes and their connected covers. We show that even though the connected covers do not forget that they came from a finite complex their homotopy-theoretic properties are drastically different from those of finite complexes. For instance, connected covers of finite complexes may have uncountable genus or nontrivial SNT sets, their Lusternik-Schnirelmann category...
