Study on combinatorial $k$-systoles on surfaces, showing growth in intersection numbers.

We establish combinatorial versions of various classical systolic inequalities. For a smooth triangulation of a closed smooth manifold, the minimal number of edges in a homotopically non-trivial loop contained in the $1$-skeleton gives an integer called the combinatorial systole. The number of top-dimensional simplices…

In this paper, we prove that the systolic volume of a closed aspherical 3-manifold is bounded below in terms of complexity. Systolic volume is defined as the optimal constant in a systolic inequality. Babenko showed that the systolic volume is a homotopy invariant. Moreover, Gromov proved that the systolic volume depen…

Twenty years ago Gromov asked about how large is the set of isomorphism classes of groups whose systolic area is bounded from above. This article introduces a new combinatorial invariant for finitely presentable groups called {\it simplicial complexity} that allows to obtain a quite satisfactory answer to his question.…

Given a hyperbolic surface, the set of all closed geodesics whose length is minimal form a graph on the surface, in fact a so-called fat graph, which we call the systolic graph. We study which fat graphs are systolic graphs for some surface (we call these admissible). There is a natural necessary condition on such grap…

New bounds on knot distortion and Seifert surface properties.

The regularity of systolically extremal surfaces is a notoriously difficult problem already discussed by M. Gromov in 1983, who proposed an argument toward the existence of $L^2$-extremizers exploiting the theory of $r$-regularity developed by P. A. White and others by the 1950s. We propose to study the problem of syst…

A new systolic inequality with a remainder for the real projective plane.

We prove a new systolic volume lower bound for non-orientable n-manifolds, involving the stable 1-systole and the codimension 1 systole with coefficients in Z_2. As an application, we prove that Lusternik-Schnirelmann category and systolic category agree for non-orientable closed manifolds of dimension 3, extending our…

In this paper we investigate the systolic landscape of translation surfaces for fixed genus and fixed angles of their cone points. We furthermore study how the systoles of a translation surface relate to the systoles of its graph of saddle connections. This allows us to develop an algorithm to compute the systolic rati…

The study of systoles in arithmetic hyperbolic manifolds.

Extremal length systole is maximized at the Bolza surface.

For all systolic groups we construct boundaries which are EZ--structures. This implies the Novikov conjecture for torsion--free systolic groups. The boundary is constructed via a system of distinguished geodesics in a systolic complex, which we prove to have coarsely similar properties to geodesics in CAT(0) spaces.

New systolic inequality for 3D contact forms on Seifert bundles.

The aim of this text is to present the concept of systole of a compact riemannian manifold and to give an overview of systolic geometry. I will also present the "regularization technique", which leads to major results in systolic geometry. I will detail how this technique allows to link the systolic volume of some clos…

We give the first example of systolic freedom over torsion coefficients. The phenomenon is a bit unexpected (contrary to a conjecture of Gromov's) and more delicate than systolic freedom over the integers.

We prove optimal systolic inequalities on Finsler Mobius bands relating the systole and the height of the Mobius band to its Holmes-Thompson volume. We also establish an optimal systolic in- equality for Finsler Klein bottles of revolution, which we conjecture to hold true for arbitrary Finsler metrics. Extremal metric…

New index characterizes non-smooth Zoll convex bodies.

For a translation surface, we define the systole to be the length of the shortest saddle connection. We give a characterization of the maxima of the systole function on a stratum, and give a family of examples providing local but nonglobal maxima on each stratum of genus at least three. We further study the relation be…

We show that for closed orientable manifolds the $k$-dimensional stable systole admits a metric-independent volume bound if and only if there are cohomology classes of degree $k$ that generate cohomology in top-degree. Moreover, it turns out that in the nonorientable case such a bound does not exist for stable systoles…
