초록
In this thesis, we first carry out a survey to provide a natural and uniform explanation of the properties of the Lusternik-Schnirelmann category and the higher topological complexity of spaces, under the perspective of seeing these as sectional categories of certain fibrations. In particular, we are interested in the cohomological lower bounds of the above invariants obtainable from this perspective, namely the cup-length and the zero-divisors cup-length of spaces. It is known that the behavior of the spaces whose Lusternik-Schnirelmann categories coincide with their cup-lengths is optimal in the sense that they have an additivity with respect to the product operation of spaces. Motivated by such phenomena, in the second part of this thesis, we investigate the spaces whose Lusternik-Schnirelmann categories coincide with their cup-lengths, and the spaces whose higher topological complexities coincide with their zero-divisors cup-lengths. Further inspecting such optimality, we show that there is an additivity of higher topological complexity with respect to the product operation in the latter class. Moreover, in the last part of this thesis, we introduce an efficient method of computing the higher topological complexity of a space.
