On the homotopy groups of some equivariant automorphism groups of spheres
On two results of Singhof
For a compact connected semisimple Lie group we shall prove two results (both related with Singhof’s paper [13]) on the Lusternik-Schnirelmann category of the adjoint orbits of , respectively the 1-dimensional relative category of a maximal torus in . The techniques will be classical, but we shall also apply some basic results concerning the so-called -category (cf. [14]).
