On the topological complexity of surfaces

Description:  In this talk, we will consider the concept of topological complexity introduced by M. Farber to give a measure of the motion planning problem and discuss it for surfaces. In particular, we will see that the topological complexity of the Klein bottle and higher genus non-orientable surfaces is maximal. The talk is based on a joint work with D. Cohen.
