Abstract
We construct infinitely many examples of macroscopically large manifolds of dimension equipped with circle bundles whose total spaces admit metrics of positive scalar curvature and have macroscopic dimension at most . In particular, we answer a question of Gromov on the existence of circle bundles over enlargeable manifolds whose total spaces admit metrics of positive scalar curvature, in all dimensions. Our constructions are based on techniques from symplectic geometry.
