Abstract

Gromov's celebrated systolic inequality from '83 is a universal volume lower bound in terms of the least length of a noncontractible loop in M. His proof passes via a strongly isometric imbedding called the Kuratowski imbedding, into the Banach space of bounded functions on M. We show that the imbedding admits an approximation by a (1+ε)-bi-Lipschitz (onto its image), finite-dimensional imbedding for every ε > 0, using the first variation formula and the mean value theorem.
