The topological complexity of the free product (Q2272954)

Given a (discrete) group \(G\), let \(\operatorname{TC}(G)\) denote Farber's topological complexity of the classifying space \(BG\). Main result: \(\operatorname{TC} (G\ast H) = \max\{\operatorname{TC} (G),\operatorname{TC} (H), \operatorname{cd}(G\times H)\}\) where \(\ast\) denotes the free product of groups and \(\operatorname{cd}(A)\) is the cohomological dimension of the group \(A\).
