On the Lusternik-Schnirelmann category of a simplicial map

preprint2016arXivOpen access

Abstract

In this paper, we study the Lusternik-Schnirelmann category of a simplicial map between simplicial complexes, generalizing the simplicial category of a complex to that of a map. Several properties of this new invariant are shown, including its relevance to products and fibrations. We relate this category of a map to the classical Lusternik-Schnirelmann category of a map between finite topological spaces. Finally, we show how the simplicial category of a map may be used to define and study a simplicial version of the essential category weight of J. Strom.
