In \cite{GrOrang}, Gromov asks the following question: given a nullhomotopic map of Lipschitz constant , how does the Lipschitz constant of an optimal nullhomotopy of depend on , , and ? We establish that for fixed and , the answer is at worst quadratic in . More precisely, we …

Upper bounds on nullhomotopy volumes in nilpotent spaces are refined.
It has long been known to mathematicians and physicists that while a full rotation in three-dimensional Euclidean space causes tangling, two rotations can be untangled. Formally, an untangling is a based nullhomotopy of the double-twist loop in the special orthogonal group of rotations. We study a particularly simple, …
It is an open problem whether Kirk's invariant is the complete obstruction to a link map being link homotopically trivial. With the objective of constructing counterexamples, Li proposed a link homotopy invariant that is defined on the kernel of and also obstructs link nullhomotopy. We …
Study shows how to create 2-links with any group in 4-manifolds.
The Hopf invariant is linked to null-homotopy properties of maps.
