Higher Topological Complexity of Complement of a Generic Arrangement
Keywords:
Topological complexity, Schwarz genus, hyperplane arrangements.Abstract
The notion of higher topological complexity of a topological space was defined by Rudyak in [12], generalized earlier works of M. Far- ber [3], [4], [5], [6]. In this paper, we compute the higher topological complexity for the complement of a generic arrangement. As an application, we compute the higher topological complexity of configuration spaces on Euclidean spaces.
