Abstract |
|
The concept of genus of an invariant, closed set A in a paracompact free G-space E is introduced for any compact Lie group G and the general result that G-genus A = catBA∗ is proven where B = E∕G, A∗ = E∕G and cat is short for Ljusternick-Schnirelman category. As a special case, the concept of genus (Krasnoselskii) coincides with the notion of category (Ljusternik-Schnirelman) as employed in a real or complex Banach space. |
