Abstract: We study the degree of an $L$-Lipschitz map between Riemannian manifolds, proving new upper bounds and constructing new examples. For instance, if $X_k$ is the connected sum of $k$ copies of $mathbbC{P}^2$ for $kge4$, then we prove that the maximum degree of an $L$-Lipschitz self-map of $X_k$ is between $C_1{L}^4(logL{)}^{-4}$ and $C_2{L}^4(logL{)}^{-1/2}$. More generally, we divide simply connected manifolds into three topological types with three different behaviors. Each type is defined by purely topological criteria. For scalable simply connected $n$-manifolds, the maximal degree is $sim{L}^n$. For formal but non-scalable simply connected $n$-manifolds, the maximal degree grows roughly like $L^n(logL{)}^{heta(1)}$. And for non-formal simply connected $n$-manifolds, the maximal degree is bounded by $L^{a}lpha$ for some $alpha<n$.
