On topological complexity of Eilenberg-MacLane spaces

Abstract: We note that, for any natural $k$ and every natural $l$ between $k$ and $2k$, there exists a group $\pi$ with $\cat K(\pi,1)=k$ and $\TC(K(\pi,1))=l$. Because of this, we can set up a problem of searching of purely group-theoretical description of $\TC(K(\pi,1))$ as an invariant of $\pi$.
