Lusternik-Schnirelmann category and systolic category of low-dimensional manifolds

Abstract: We show that the geometry of a Riemannian manifold (M,g) is sensitive to the apparently purely homotopy-theoretic invariant of M known as the Lusternik-Schnirelmann category, denoted cat_{LS}(M). Here we introduce a Riemannian analogue of cat_{LS}(M), called the systolic category of M. It is denoted cat_{sys}(M), and defined in terms of the existence of systolic inequalities satisfied by every metric g, as initiated by C. Loewner and later developed by M. Gromov. We compare the two categories. In all our examples, the inequality cat_{sys}(M) le cat_{LS}(M) is satisfied, which typically turns out to be an equality, e.g. in dimension 3. We show that a number of existing systolic inequalities can be reinterpreted as special cases of such equality, and that both categories are sensitive to Massey products. The comparison with the value of cat(M) leads us to prove or conjecture new systolic inequalities on M.
