Universal volume bounds in Riemannian manifolds

Differential Geometry 2007-05-23 v1 Geometric Topology History and Overview

Abstract

In this survey article we will consider universal lower bounds on the volume of a Riemannian manifold, given in terms of the volume of lower dimensional objects (primarily the lengths of geodesics). By `universal' we mean without curvature assumptions. The restriction to results with no (or only minimal) curvature assumptions, although somewhat arbitrary, allows the survey to be reasonably short. Although, even in this limited case the authors have left out many interesting results.
