An upper bound on the LS category in presence of the fundamental group

for every CW complex $X$ , where $cd (π_{1} (X))$ denotes the cohomological dimension of the fundamental group of $X$ . We obtain this as a corollary of the inequality

{cat}_{LS} X \leq \frac{1}{2} ({cat}_{LS} (u_{X}) + dim X),

where $u_{X} : X \to B π_{1} (X)$ is a classifying map for the universal covering of $X$ .
