Lusternik–Schnirelmann category and the connectivity of $X$

Nicholas A Scoville

Algebraic & Geometric Topology 12 (2012) 435–448
Abstract

We define and study a homotopy invariant called the connectivity weight to compute the weighted length between spaces X and Y . This is an invariant based on the connectivity of Ai, where Ai is a space attached in a mapping cone sequence from X to Y . We use the Lusternik–Schnirelmann category to prove a theorem concerning the connectivity of all spaces attached in any decomposition from X to Y . This theorem is used to prove that for any positive rational number q, there is a space X such that q = clω(X), the connectivity weighted cone-length of X. We compute clω(X) and klω(X) for many spaces and give several examples.
