Abstract

We show that the length RR of a systole of a closed hyperbolic nn-manifold (n3)(n \geq 3) admitting a triangulation by tt nn-simplices can be bounded below by a function of nn and tt, namely R12(nt)O(n4t). R \geq \frac{1}{2^{(nt)^{O(n^4t)} }} . We do this by finding a relation between the number of nn-simplices and the diameter of the manifold and by giving explicit bounds for a well known relation between the length of the core curve of a Margulis tube and its radius. We prove the same result for finite volume manifolds, with a similar but slightly more involved proof.
