Abstract

We prove a sharp stable 22-systolic inequality for complex projective space under the scalar curvature lower bound of the normalized Fubini-Study metric. If MM is diffeomorphic to CPn\mathbb{C}\mathrm{P}^n and scalg4n(n+1)\mathrm{scal}_g\ge 4n(n+1), then sys2st(M,g)π\mathrm{sys}_2^{\mathrm{st}}(M,g)\le \pi. Moreover, equality holds only for the Fubini-Study metric, up to biholomorphism after choosing the corresponding complex structure. The proof uses Spinc^c Dirac operators, a comass estimate for the curvature term in the Lichnerowicz formula, and stable norm-comass duality.
