The inscribed radius of a compact manifold with boundary is bounded above if its Ricci curvature and mean curvature are bounded from below. The rigidity result implies that the upper bound can be achieved only in space form. In this paper,…

Upper bounds are derived for codes in Stiefel and Grassmann manifolds with given minimal chordal distance. They stem from upper bounds for codes in products of unit spheres and projective spaces. The new bounds are asymptotically better…

Green's inequality shows that a compact Riemannian manifold with scalar curvature at least $n(n-1)$ has injectivity radius at most $\pi$, and that equality is achieved only for the radius 1 sphere. In this work we show how extra topological…
