Abstract The notion of the Urysohn d-width measures to what extent a metric space can be approximated by a d-dimensional simplicial complex. We investigate how local Urysohn width bounds on a Riemannian manifold affect its global width. We bound the 1-width of a Riemannian manifold in terms of its first homology and the supremal width of its unit balls. Answering a question of Larry Guth, we give examples of n-manifolds of considerable (n-1){(n-1)}-width in which all unit balls have arbitrarily…

Macroscopic scalar curvature and codimension 2 width

We show that a complete 3-dimensional Riemannian manifold M with finitely generated first homology has macroscopic dimension 1 if it satisfies the following “macroscopic curvature” assumptions: every…

Waist of maps measured via Urysohn width

We discuss various questions of the following kind: for a continuous map $X \to Y$ from a compact metric space to a simplicial complex, can one guarantee the existence of a fiber large in the sense…

We give a short proof of a theorem of Guth relating volume of balls and Uryson width. The same approach applies to Hausdorff content implying a recent result of Liokumovich–Lishak–Nabutovsky–Rotman.…

We prove an inequality conjectured by Larry Guth that relates the $m$-dimensional Hausdorff content of a compact metric space with its $(m-1)$-dimensional Urysohn width. As a corollary, we obtain…

Volumes of balls in Riemannian manifolds and Uryson width

If (Mn,g) is a closed Riemannian manifold where every unit ball has volume at most ϵn (a sufficiently small constant), then the (n − 1)-dimensional Uryson width of (Mn,g) is at most 1.
