Abstract:The systole of a closed Riemannian manifold is defined to be the length of a shortest noncontractible loop. Gromov's systolic inequality relates systole to volume, which is a curvature free inequality. Gromov proved that systolic inequality holds on closed essential manifolds. Gromov's further work indicates that systolic inequality is related to topological complicatedness of manifol...
