Topology Seminar: Jesus Gonzalez
Topic
Hopf invariants in the motion planning problem
Speakers
Details
Hopf invariants, a basic construction in homotopy theory, are closely related to LusternikāSchnirelmann category which, in turn, can be defined as the sectional category of a certain evaluation map. In this talk I'll introduce the notion of Hopf invariants for general fibrations and exhibit a connection between the Hopf invariants for a product fibration and those for the factors. Applications will be drawn to the motion planning problem.
