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...

On Lusternik-Schnirelmann category of SO(10)

Norio Iwase, Toshiyuki Miyauchi (2016)

Fundamenta Mathematicae

Let G be a compact connected Lie group and p: E → ΣA be a principal G-bundle with a characteristic map α: A → G, where A = ΣA₀ for some A₀. Let K i F i - 1 F i | 1 i m with F₀ = ∗, F₁ = ΣK₁ and Fₘ ≃ G be a cone-decomposition of G of length m and F’₁ = ΣK’₁ ⊂ F₁ with K’₁ ⊂ K₁ which satisfy F i F ' F i + 1 up to homotopy for all i. Then cat(E) ≤ m + 1, under suitable conditions, which is used to determine cat(SO(10)). A similar result was obtained by Kono and the first author (2007) to determine cat(Spin(9)), but that result could not...

On the connection between the topological genus of certain polyhedra and the algebraic genus of their Hilton-Hopt quadratic forms.

Imre Bokor (1990)

Publicacions Matemàtiques

The Hilton-Hopf quadratic form is defined for spaces of the homotopy type of a CW complex with one cell each in dimensions 0 and 4n, K cells in dimension 2n and no other cells. If two such spaces are of the same topological genus, then their Hilton-Hopf quadratic forms are of the same weak algebraic genus. For large classes of spaces, such as simply connected differentiable 4-manifolds, the converse is also true, as long as the suspensions of the spaces are also of the same topological genus. This...
