Morita invariance of equivariant Lusternik-Schnirelmann category and invariant topological complexity

A. Angel, H. Colman, M. Grant and J. Oprea

We use the homotopy invariance of equivariant principal bundles to prove that the equivariant A-category of Clapp and Puppe is invariant under Morita equivalence. As a corollary, we obtain that both the equivariant Lusternik-Schnirelmann category of a group action and the invariant topological complexity are invariant under Morita equivalence. This allows a definition of topological complexity for orbifolds.

Keywords: Topological complexity, Lusternik-Schnirelmann category
