Abstract
Let be a map with nonzero Hopf Invariant. Using the generalized Hopf invariant introduced by Haj\l{}asz, Schikorra and Tyson, we show that any null-homotopy of with small -dilation must have large -dilation. Conversely, we show that these results are sharp by constructing smooth null-homotopies with arbitrarily small -dilation.
