Macroscopic scalar curvature and areas of cycles

Abstract: In this paper we prove the following. Let

S i g m a

be an

n

--dimensional closed hyperbolic manifold and let

g

be a Riemannian metric on

S i g m a i m e s m a t h b b S^{1}

. Given an upper bound on the volumes of unit balls in the Riemannian universal cover

(w i d e t i l d e S i g m a i m e s m a t h b b S^{1}, w i d e t i l d e g)

, we get a lower bound on the area of the

m a t h b b Z_{2}

--homology class

[S i g m a i m e s a s t]

on

S i g m a i m e s m a t h b b S^{1}

, proportional to the hyperbolic area of

S i g m a

. The theorem is based on a theorem of Guth and is analogous to a theorem of Kronheimer and Mrowka involving scalar curvature.
