Abstract
In 1999, M. Gromov introduced the box distance function on the space of all mm-spaces. In this paper, by using the method of T. H. Colding (cf. \cite[Lemma 5.10]{Colding}), we estimate and , where is the -dimensional unit sphere in and is the -dimensional complex projective space equipped with the Fubini-Study metric. In paticular, we give the complete answer to an Exercise of Gromov's Green book (cf. \cite[Section ]{gromov}). We also estimate from below, where SO(n) is the special orthogonal group.
