Abstract

We investigate the interaction between systolic geometry and positive scalar curvature through spinorial methods. Our main theorem establishes an upper bound for the two-dimensional stable systole on certain high-dimensional manifolds with positive scalar curvature under a suitable stretch-scale condition. The proof combines techniques from geometric measure theory, reminiscent of Gromov's systolic inequality, with curvature estimates derived from the Gromov-Lawson relative index theorem. This approach provides a new framework for studying the relationship between positive scalar curvature metrics and systolic geometry in higher-dimensional manifolds.
