Z2–Systolic-Freedom

Michael H Freedman

Geometry & Topology Monographs 2 (1999) 113–123

DOI: 10.2140/gtm.1999.2.113

arXiv: math.GT/0002124

Abstract

We give the first example of systolic freedom over torsion coefficients. The phenomenon is a bit unexpected (contrary to a conjecture of Gromov’s) and more delicate than systolic freedom over the integers.

Dedicated to Rob Kirby, a lover of Mathematics and other wild places. Thank you for your inspiration.
