Abstract: Homotopic distance as introduced by Macias-Virgos and Mosquera-Lois in [2] can be realised as a generalisation of topological complexity (TC) and Lusternik Schnirelmann category (cat). In this talk, we will introduce a simplicial analogue of homotopic distance (in the sense of Ortiz, Lara, Gonzalez and Borat as in [3]) and show that it has a relation with simplicial complexity (as defined in [1]). We will also take a glance at contiguity distance - another simplicial analogue of homotopic distance - as introduced in [2] and improved in [4]. References
