Higher topological complexity of hyperbolic groups

We prove for non-elementary torsion-free hyperbolic groups Γ and all r ≥ 2 that the higher topological complexity TCr(Γ) is equal to r · cd(Γ). In particular, hyperbolic groups satisfy the rationality conjecture on the TC-generating function, giving an affirmative answer to a question of Farber and...

description We prove for non-elementary torsion-free hyperbolic groups Γ and all r ≥ 2 that the higher topological complexity TCr(Γ) is equal to r · cd(Γ). In particular, hyperbolic groups satisfy the rationality conjecture on the TC-generating function, giving an affirmative answer to a question of Farber and Oprea. More generally, we show that the same conclusions hold for certain toral relatively hyperbolic groups.
