Topological complexity

In mathematics, topological complexity of a topological space X (also denoted by TC(X)) is a topological invariant closely connected to the motion planning problem, introduced by Michael Farber in 2003. (Wikipedia).

Said Hamoun (2/23/23): On the rational topological complexity of coformal elliptic spaces

We establish some upper and lower bounds of the rational topological complexity for certain classes of elliptic spaces. Our techniques permit us in particular to show that the rational topological complexity coincides with the dimension of the rational homotopy for some special families of

The Computational Complexity of Geometric Topology Problems - Greg Kuperberg

Greg Kuperberg University of California, Davis September 24, 2012 This talk will be a partial survey of the first questions in the complexity theory of geometric topology problems. What is the complexity, or what are known complexity bounds, for distinguishing n-manifolds for various n? Fo

Bárbara M. Gutiérrez (7/22/21): Effectual topological complexity

In this talk we will introduce the concept of Effectual Topological Complexity, which is a new version of the Topological Complexity (TC) for G-Spaces. We will state some of its main properties, for instance, we will explain the relation between this notion with the standard version of TC

What is a manifold?

I define topological manifolds. Motivated by the prospect of calculus on topological manifolds, I introduce smooth manifolds. At the end I point out how one needs to change the definitions, to obtain C^1 or even complex manifolds. To learn more about manifolds, see Lee's "Introduction to

Jezus Gonzalez (6/25/17) Bedlewo: Topological complexity and the motion planning problem in robotics

Early this century Michael Farber introduced the concept of Topological Complexity (TC), a model to study the continuity instabilities in the motion planning problem in robotics. Farber’s model has captured much attention since then due to the rich algebraic topology properties encoded by

Emilie Purvine (5/2/21): Homology of Graphs and Hypergraphs

Graphs and hypergraphs are typically studied from a combinatorial perspective. A graph being a collection of vertices and pairwise relationships (edges) among the vertices, and a hypergraph capturing multi-way or groupwise relationships (hyperedges) among the vertices. But both of these ob

Lusternik-Schnirelmann category and topological complexity are particular cases of a more general notion, that we call homotopic distance between two maps. As a consequence, several properties of those invariants can be proved in a unified way and new results arise. For instance, we prove
