Review text

Let \(M\) be a nonsimply connected closed \(n\)-manifold endowed with a Riemannian metric \(g\). Denote by \(\text{sys}(M,g)\) the systole of \((M,g)\) defined as the length of the shortest noncontractible loop in \(M\). Define the systolic volume of \(M\) as \[ \sigma(M)=\inf_g\,\frac{\text{vol}(M,g)}{\text{sys}(M,g)^n} \] where \(g\) runs over the space of all metrics on \(M\). The author proves that the systolic volume of connected sums of closed oriented essential manifolds is unbounded. Next, he shows that the systolic volume of every sequence of closed hyperbolic manifolds is also unbounded. The last result is already known for \(n=2\) and \(n\geqslant 4\). An essential role in the proofs of the above theorems plays the systolic inequality due to Gromov, which relates the systolic volume of a manifold to its simplicial height.
