Abstract

This work focuses on important step in quantitative topology: given homotopic mappings from SmS^m to SnS^n of Lipschitz constant LL, build the (asymptotically) simplest homotopy between them (meaning having the least Lipschitz constant). The present paper resolves this problem for the first case where Hopf invariant plays a role: m=3m = 3, n=2n = 2, constructing a homotopy with Lipschitz constant O(L)O(L)
