%0 Journal Article %T The Lusternik-Schniremann-category and the fundamental group %A Alexander Dranishnikov %J Mathematics %D 2009 %I arXiv %X We prove that $$ \cat X\le cd(\pi_1(X))+\bigg\lceil\frac{\dim X-1}{2}\bigg\rceil$$ for every CW complex $X$ where $cd(\pi_1(X))$ denotes the cohomological dimension of the fundamental group of $X$. %U http://arxiv.org/abs/0909.4567v1
