Systoles of surfaces

In mathematics, systolic inequalities for curves on surfaces were first studied by Charles Loewner in 1949 (unpublished; see remark at end of P. M. Pu's paper in '52). Given a closed surface, its systole, denoted sys, is defined to be the least length of a loop that cannot be contracted to a point on the surface. The systolic area of a metric is defined to be the ratio area/sys2. The systolic ratio SR is the reciprocal quantity sys2/area. See also Introduction to systolic geometry. (Wikipedia).

C. Judge - Systoles in translation surfaces

I will discuss joint work with Hugo Parlier concerning the shortest noncontractible loops—’systoles’—in a translation surface. In particular, we provide estimates (some sharp) on the number of systoles (up to homotopy) in the strata H(2g-2) and the stratum H(1,1). We also determine the ma

Metaphors in Systolic Geometry - Larry Guth

Larry Guth University of Toronto; Institute for Advanced Study October 18, 2010 The systolic inequality says that if we take any metric on an n-dimensional torus with volume 1, then we can find a non-contractible curve in the torus with length at most C(n). A remarkable feature of the ine
