Secondary cohomology operations and sectional category

preprint2026arXivOpen access

Abstract

We show how secondary cohomology operations in the total space of the fibred join can be used to give lower bounds for the sectional category of a fibration. This suggests a refinement of the module weight of Iwase--Kono, which we call the secondary module weight. Examples are given for which the secondary module weight at the prime 22 detects sectional category while the module weight does not.
