An upper bound for the Lusternik–Schnirelmann category of the symplectic group
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 17 May 2013
Abstract
We prove that the LS category of the symplectic group Sp(n) is bounded above by $(n+1 \choose 2)$. This is achieved by computing the number of critical levels of a height function.
