Ganea conjectured that for any finite CW complex X and any k > 0, cat(X X Sk) Cat(X) + 1. In this paper we prove two special cases of this conjecture. The main result is the folloNving. Let X be a (p - 1)- connected n-dimensional CW complex (not necessarily finite). We show that if cat(X) K J +1 and n $-l modp (which implies p > 1), then cat(X Sk) cat(X) + 1. This is proved by showing that wcat(X x Sk) = wcat(X) + I in a much larger range, and then showing that under the conditions imposed, cat(X) = wcat(X). The second special case is an extension of Singhof's earlier result for manifolds.
