%0 Journal Article %A Baro González, Elías %T On the o-minimal LS-category %D 2011 %@ 0021-2172 %U https://hdl.handle.net/20.500.14352/42050 %X We introduce the o-minimal LS-category of definable sets in o-minimal expansions of ordered fields and we establish a relation with the semialgebraic and the classical one. We also study the o-minimal LS-category of definable groups. Along the way, we show that two definably connected definably compact definable groups G and H are definable homotopy equivalent if and only if L(G) and L(H) are homotopy equivalent, where L is the functor which associates to each definable group its corresponding Lie group via Pillay's conjecture. %~
