Abstract

We give a short proof of a theorem of Guth relating volume of balls and Uryson width. The same approach applies to Hausdorff content implying a recent result of Liokumovich-Lishak-Nabutovsky-Rotman. We show also that for any C>0C>0 there is a Riemannian metric gg on a 3-sphere such that vol(S3,g)=1\text{vol}(S^3,g)=1 and for any map f:S3R2f:S^3\to \mathbb{R}^2 there is some xR2x\in \mathbb{R}^2 for which diam(f1(x))>C\text{diam}(f^{-1}(x))>C-answering a question of Guth.
