| Abstract: | In this paper we compute: the Schwarz genus of the Stiefel manifold Vk(Rn) with respect to the action of the Weyl group Wk:=(Z/2)k⋊Sk, and the Lusternik-Schnirelmann category of the quotient space Vk(Rn)/Wk. Furthermore, these results are used in estimating the number of critically outscribed parallelotopes around a strictly convex body, and Birkhoff-James orthogonal bases of a normed finite dimensional vector space. |
