Abstract:First we give an upper bound of $ \mathrm{cat}{(E)}$, the L-S category of a principal $ G$-bundle $ E$ for a connected compact group $ G$ with a characteristic map $ \alpha: {\Sigma}V \to G$. Assume that there is a cone-decomposition $ \{F_{i}\,\vert\,0 \leq i\leq m\}$ of $ G$ in the sense of Ganea that is compatible with multiplication. Then we have $ \mathrm{cat}{(E)} \leq\mathrm{Max}(m{+}n,m{+}2)$ for $ n \geq 1$, if $ \alpha$ is compressible into $ F_{n} \subseteq F_{m}\simeq G$ with trivial higher Hopf invariant $ H_n(\alpha)$. Second, we introduce a new computable lower bound, $ \mathrm{Mwgt} {(X; {\mathbb{F}_2}})$ for $ \mathrm{cat}({X})$. The two new estimates imply $ \mathrm{cat}({\mathbf{Spin}{(9))}}=\mathrm{Mwgt} ({\mathbf{Spin}{(9)};{\mathbb{F}_2}}) = 8 > 6 =\mathrm{wgt}({\mathbf{Spin}{(9)};{\mathbb{F}_2}})$, where $ (\mathrm{wgt}{-;R})$ is a category weight due to Rudyak and Strom.
