Review text

Let \(K\) be a CW-complex. This work deals with a generalization of the Lusternik-Schnirelmann category, denoted by \(\text{cat}_K(-)\) and due to \textit{M. Clapp} and \textit{D. Puppe} [Trans. Am. Math. Soc. 298, 603--620 (1986; Zbl 0618.55003)]. In the paper under review, the authors give a complete classification of topological \(n\)-manifolds \(M\) such that \(\text{cat}_{S^2}(M)=2\) and a complete list of the fundamental groups of \(n\)-manifolds such that \(\text{cat}_{{\mathbb P}^2}(M)=2\). For this determination, they use a graph \({\mathcal G}\), determined by the components of a categorical open cover of \(M\), and whose fundamental group is isomorphic to \(\pi_1(M)\).
