Topological complexity, fibrations and symmetry

Abstract: We show how locally smooth actions of compact Lie groups on a manifold X can be used to obtain new upper bounds for the topological complexity TC(X), in the sense of Farber. We also obtain new bounds for the topological complexity of finitely generated torsion-free nilpotent groups.


The author gives new upper bounds on the topological complexity of total spaces of fibrations and spaces supporting Lie group actions. Using these general results the author gives interesting inequalities (which improve significantly the previously known results) involving the topological complexity of discrete groups.
